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 term hypertensive heart disease covers the entities of left ventricular hypertrophy, microangiopathy and endothelial dysfunction resulting in diastolic and systolic dysfunction, arrhythmias and increased cardiovascular risk. From the pathophysiological point of view, this is caused by the hypertrophy of cardiac myocytes, interstitial fibrosis and media hypertrophy of the arterioles. Microangiopathy can be diagnosed as the earliest sign of hypertensive heart disease, with diastolic dysfunction also being found as an early change. In further persisting arterial hypertension left ventricular hypertrophy develops (often asymmetric) and later a systolic dysfunction. Clinically, the patients suffer from angina pectoris, dyspnea and rhythm disorders. Left ventricular hypertrophy is associated with an increased risk of malignant ventricular arrhythmias. Thus, the main therapeutic principle should be antihypertensive therapy with the goal of regression of hypertrophy leading to decreased mortality risk.
