Review in Journal of human hypertension, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Researchers in hypertension genetics feel like they are left behind again. It always seems that the 'other' complex diseases are ahead in the race. Evolving new technologies in the form of genome-wide arrays and 'omics' technologies mean that investigators can now potentially identify many novel disease factors in one large-scale experiment. Hypertension research now faces the challenge of where to go next after the first genome-wide association experiments failed to provide robust candidates. In this review, we contemplate the old dilemma of whether such genes may ever be found; however, we believe advancing technologies and plummeting costs of large-scale experiments will contribute to the identification of novel molecules that underlie essential hypertension.
