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

The central nervous system plays an important role in the minute-to-minute regulation of arterial pressure, but its contribution to chronic regulation of arterial pressure is less clear. A nervous system role in essential hypertension in humans has been postulated for decades, but conclusive data on the relationship has been lacking. However, several lines of evidence in animal models and in humans suggest that the sympathetic nervous system is a primary contributor to the development and maintenance of some forms of essential hypertension. The primary final common pathway for the nervous system's contribution to hypertension is the sympathetic nervous system. Sympathetic nervous system overactivity may result from either inappropriately elevated sympathetic drive from brain centers, an increase in synaptically released neurotransmitters in the periphery, or amplification of the neurotransmitter signal at the target tissue. This review examines recent evidence for the central and peripheral nervous systems' roles in hypertension, and considers recent findings in this area that suggest that sex steroids and circadian rhythms are important considerations in the nervous system's regulation of arterial pressure.
