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

Endothelin-1 is a potent regulator of vasomotor tone and promotes endothelium-dependent vasoconstriction of vascular smooth muscle. Dysregulated vasomotor tone is a hallmark of microvascular pathology following cardiac surgery involving cardioplegia and cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). This review begins with a discussion of the molecular biology of endothelin-1, the structure and function of endothelin receptors, and an overview of endothelin signaling pathways and endogenous regulation. Following this, the focus will turn to an exploration of abnormal endothelin-1 activity during and after CPB across different vascular systems, including coronary, pulmonary, skeletal muscle, peripheral, and mesenteric circulation. Finally, this review concludes with a discussion of drugs targeting endothelin-1 signaling pathways to protect vasomotor tone and microvascular function from ischemia/reperfusion-induced damage, highlighting new therapeutic targets to reduce postoperative morbidity and mortality.
