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

Recent evidence highlighting the presence of cortico-steroid receptors in the central nervous system has prompted further investigation regarding their role in the pathogenesis of hypertension. The sympathetic nervous system, an important factor in the pathogenesis of hypertension, is influenced by sodium and volume status. Activation of central nervous system mineralocorticoid receptors is known to affect sympathetic activity, although the processes that underpin this phenomenon are incompletely understood. This article reviews some of the recent advances in this area, particularly mechanisms by which the mineralo-corticoid receptor maintains selectivity for its ligand within the central nervous system, its role in salt appetite, and the possibility of local production of corticosteroids. In addition, the links between central mineralocorticoid receptor activation, stress, sympathetic activity, and hypertension are discussed.
