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

Renovascular hypertension, the most common remediable cause of elevated blood pressure, is a controversial topic, but most authorities agree on several principles. The absolute risk of renovascular hypertension for a specific patient can be estimated using only clinical information, thereby sparing many patients further expensive and potentially dangerous evaluations. Patients with a high absolute risk of renovascular hypertension should have angiography only if they are willing to undergo revascularization if warranted. A screening test (captopril renography, Doppler ultrasonography, magnetic resonance angiography, or computed tomography) is recommended for those with an intermediate absolute risk. Angioplasty should be offered to patients with fibromuscular dysplasia. Whether intensive medical therapy (including an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor or angiotensin II receptor blocker) for atherosclerotic renovascular hypertension is improved by angioplasty plus stent placement may be answered by ongoing studies, the largest of which may be the National Institutes of Health-funded Cardiovascular Outcomes in Renal Atherosclerotic Lesions (CORAL) trial.
