New aspects of the relationship among hypertension, obesity, and the kidneys.
Review in Current hypertension reports, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Recent studies have highlighted the association between obesity and chronic renal disease. Overweight has been shown to be a survival advantage in patients on maintenance hemodialysis therapy. However, in patients with preterminal renal failure, obesity may contribute to the progression of renal disease. Data collected from the Prevention of Renal and Vascular End-stage Disease study suggest that changes in weight directly influence albuminuria, hinting that albumin excretion could be used in the general population as a surrogate marker for risk of developing chronic kidney disease. The causal pathways linking excess weight to chronic kidney disease and hypertension are briefly reviewed in this article, and therapeutic approaches to combat this growing health problem are highlighted.
