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

backgroundCaldesmon is an actomyosin-tropomyosin-binding protein with pleiotropic functions that generally acts as an inhibitor of actomyosin ATPase activity. This study aims to explore the role of caldesmon in regulation of preglomerular vascular tone.

methodsExpression of caldesmon, myosin light chain, and α-smooth muscle actin was assessed by western blot of interlobar arteries (IAs) from young and old mice or human renal arteries from patients who underwent nephrectomy or tumor enucleation. IAs were obtained from wild-type or heterozygous mice, carrying a mutant allele that ablates both caldesmon isoforms (caldesmon

resultsCaldesmon was expressed in all preglomerular vessels of mice and humans. In caldesmon

conclusionsThis study provides cumulative evidence that caldesmon is a marker of age and inflammation-related changes in preglomerular vascular function. Our work supports the view that in the renal vasculature, caldesmon expression is age dependent and determines its sensitivity to the RhoA-associated protein kinase/p21-activated protein kinase 1 regulatory pathway.
