Brainstem mechanisms of hypertension: role of the rostral ventrolateral medulla.
Review in Current hypertension reports, 2003. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 61 papers.
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.
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 a key role in the regulation of cardiovascular function, and alterations in the central neural mechanisms that control blood pressure may underlie the vast majority of cases of primary hypertension. The well-studied baroreceptor reflex powerfully regulates arterial pressure, though its involvement in the pathogenesis of chronic hypertension is likely to be only of minor importance. Supraspinal maintenance of sympathetic vasomotor outflow appears to emanate from neurons in the rostral ventrolateral medulla, and the tonic drive exerted on sympathetic vasomotor activity by the rostral ventrolateral medulla appears to be increased in several animal models of hypertension. In particular, the excitation of the rostral ventrolateral medulla by excitatory amino acid neurotransmitters and by stimulation of AT(1) angiotensin receptors appears to be increased in experimental hypertension. The current data support the view that neurogenic hypertension is mediated by increased excitatory drive of rostral ventrolateral medulla sympathoexcitatory neurons.
