1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Prenatal hypoxia can affect vascular functions in young offspring. However, there is limited knowledge regarding whether and how prenatal hypoxia influences vascular functions in aged offspring. This study compared the effects of prenatal hypoxia on the mesenteric arteries (MA) between a young adult and aged offspring and investigated the underlying mechanisms. Pregnant rats were randomly divided into the control and prenatal hypoxia groups. The vascular functions and molecular levels were assessed in 5-month-old (5 M) or 20-month-old (20 M) offspring. Prenatal hypoxia decreased acetylcholine-mediated vascular relaxations in 20-M but not 5-M offspring. Sodium nitroprusside-mediated relaxation curves were not altered by prenatal hypoxia in 5- and 20-M offspring. Prenatal hypoxia enhanced the contractile responses caused by phenylephrine, phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate, and 5-hydroxytryptamine only in 5-M offspring. The endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) activities were decreased along with downregulated eNOS mRNA expression and phosphorylated eNOS/total eNOS protein expression in 20-M offspring with prenatal hypoxia. The NADPH oxidase (NOX) inhibitor apocynin and superoxide dismutase (SOD) mimetic tempol restored the acetylcholine-mediated weaker relaxations in 20-M offspring with prenatal hypoxia. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent and dihydroethidium assay showed that prenatal hypoxia enhanced oxidative stress in 20-M offspring. Transmission electron microscopy showed that prenatal hypoxia damaged mitochondrial structures in the MA endothelial cells of 20-M offspring. Increased NOX2 protein expression and decreased SOD3 expression were found in 20-M offspring. The results demonstrated that endothelial dysfunction induced by intrauterine hypoxia occurred with aging via enhanced oxidative stress and decreased nitric oxide activities in aged offspring.
