Renal resistive index and cardiovascular organ damage in a large population of hypertensive patients.
Article in Journal of human hypertension, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 36 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
We evaluated the relationship between renal resistive index (RRI) of the intrarenal vasculature and cardiovascular (CV) organ damage such as left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), diastolic dysfunction and carotid atherosclerosis in a large sample of hypertensive patients. 566 hypertensive patients underwent echocardiography with conventional Doppler and Doppler tissue imaging (DTI), carotid and renal ultrasonography. In addition, lipids profile, creatinine in serum, and urinary albumin concentrations were determined. The patients were divided according to their RRI values in 2 groups: <70 and >or=70. Subjects with high RRI were older, had higher systolic and pulse pressure (PP) and more years of hypertension, compared to those with low RRI (P<0.0001). Patients with the higher RRI showed an increased left ventricular mass index (LVMI) and carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) with a higher prevalence of LVH, carotid plaques and microalbuminuria (P<0.001). There were differences in overall diastolic parameters, in particular when evaluated by DTI (P<0.001). A positive correlation was found between RRI and age, PP, carotid IMT, LVMI, SBP and a negative correlation was found with DTI diastolic parameters (P<0.001). Age, PP, carotid IMT and LVMI were independently related to RRI. While, RRI was independently related to IMT and IVRT. RRI, especially the higher values, are positively correlated with target organ damage in hypertensive patients, indicating that renal vascular resistance is related to morphologic and hemodynamic alteration of the CV system. The evaluation of RRI could predict the presence of early CV damage and provide an accurate estimate of overall risk.
