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

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) accounts for a third of all deaths in the United States making it the leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Although CVD affects individuals of all races/ethnicities, the prevalence of CVD is highest in non-Hispanic black (BL) individuals relative to other populations. The mechanism(s) responsible for elevated CVD risk in the BL population remains incompletely understood. However, impaired vascular vasodilator capacity and exaggerated vascular vasoconstrictor responsiveness are likely contributing factors, both of which are present even in young, otherwise healthy BL individuals. Within this review, we highlight some historical and recent data, collected from our laboratories, of impaired vascular function, in terms of reduced vasodilator capacity and heightened vasoconstrictor responsiveness, in the peripheral and cerebral circulations in BL individuals. We provide data that such impairments may be related to elevated oxidative stress and subsequent reduction in nitric oxide bioavailability. In addition, divergent mechanisms of impaired vasodilatory capacity between BL men and women are discussed. Finally, we propose several directions where future research is needed to fill in knowledge gaps, which will allow for better understanding of the mechanisms contributing to impaired vascular function in this population. Ultimately, this information will allow for better lifestyle and therapeutic approaches to be implemented in an effort to minimize the increased CVD burden in the BL population.
