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

Normally, the kidney plays the dominant role in setting long-term arterial pressure, and the nervous system acts primarily as a short-term regulator, adjusting arterial pressure to acute challenges (eg, standing, running, and stress). However, in several animal models and in subsets of hypertensive human patients, the nervous system seems to play a more significant role in the chronic elevation of arterial pressure. Many clinical studies suggest that the peripheral sympathetic nerves are intimately involved in hypertension, and researchers recently characterized abnormalities in the brain that seem to predispose animal models to sympathetic nervous system overactivity and hypertension. Together, the current data strongly suggest that the brain, via the sympathetic nervous system, directly contributes to some forms of hypertension and indirectly contributes to all of them. This review is not intended as an exhaustive examination of all studies on the role of the nervous system in hypertension but rather focuses on several intriguing experiments that provide provocative new insights on this topic.
