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

Resistant hypertension constitutes an increasingly common medical disorder. Although the exact incidence is not precisely known, estimates derived from recent outcome studies emphasize that resistant hypertension is much more common than previously thought. A major advance in our understanding of its pathogenesis and management is the recent recognition of the importance of aldosterone excess or autonomy as an important mechanism for drug resistance in hypertension. Recent studies of the effects of aldosterone on vascular smooth muscle have delineated several extra-renal mechanisms whereby aldosterone produces hypertension primarily by its direct vasoconstrictor effects and by altering vascular compliance. Consequently, aldosterone blockade constitutes an effective intervention for treating resistant hypertension.
