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

Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in patients with hypertension is associated with an increased risk for many cardiovascular events and predicts a higher mortality rate. The pathogenesis of LVH is complicated. In addition to the hemodynamic burden (pressure or volume overload) and demographic factors, several trophic humoral factors, such as angiotensin II, aldosterone, endothelin, leptin, and catecholamines, may also contribute to the development and progression of LVH. Effective antihypertensive therapy can reverse LVH as well as prevent its development. Regression of LVH decreases subsequent cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The commonly used drugs have various effects on LVH. Angiotensin receptor blockers and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors seem most effective. Several new agents, including direct antifibrotic drugs, aldosterone blockade, vasopeptidase inhibitors, and endothelin receptor antagonists that more specifically target the underlying pathogenesis of LVH may provide us with innovative approaches to treat LVH.
