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

There is no question about the contributory risk of hypertension in morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular (CV) disease and chronic kidney disease (CKD). Another independent risk factor for CV disease and CKD is proteinuria, which is most commonly caused by dysfunction of the kidney glomerular filter, in particular of the podocyte. Podocytes are highly differentiated pericyte-like cells that are essential to normal kidney function. Moreover, loss of podocytes is a hallmark of diabetic and nondiabetic progressive CKD. Recent data point to an important role for the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) and calcium signaling in the structural and functional integrity of podocytes. Given this scenario, it is desirable to treat hypertension with agents targeting the RAS, such as angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and angiotensin II (Ang II) type 1-receptor blockers (ARB). These agents have proven effects on lowering blood pressure (BP) and can reduce podocyte injury. Here we review the dual effects of RAS blockade on BP and on podocyte function and emphasize BP-dependent and BP-independent effects of this regimen.
