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

In patients with chronic kidney disease elevated blood pressure is a common finding, but primary hypertension can also damage healthy kidneys. Renal outcome is strictly dependent on blood pressure, no matter whether the kidneys are cause or consequence of hypertension. Furthermore, hypertension and kidney disease are strong cardiovascular risk factors. In every patient diagnosed with hypertension glomerular filtration rate has to be checked. Proteinuria and structural abnormalities of the kidneys should be ruled out. Patients with a decreased glomerular filtration rate, proteinuria or pathologic ultrasound should be seen by a nephrologist. A strict antihypertensive therapy (blood pressure <130/80 mmHg) can substantially improve the prognosis of hypertensive renal patients. In patients with kidney damage, inhibitors of the renin-angiotensin-system are preferred. To avoid adverse events a close monitoring of antihypertensive therapy is warranted.
