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

Hypertension is a complex, multifactorial disease, and its development is determined by a combination of genetic susceptibility and environmental factors. Several mechanisms have been implicated in the pathogenesis of hypertension: increased activity of the sympathetic nervous system, overactivation of the renin-angiotensin aldosterone system (RAAS), dysfunction of vascular endothelium, impaired platelet function, thrombogenesis, vascular smooth muscle and cardiac hypertrophy, and altered angiogenesis. MicroRNAs are short, noncoding nucleotides regulating target messenger RNAs at the post-transcriptional level. MicroRNAs are involved in virtually all biologic processes, including cellular proliferation, apoptosis, and differentiation. Thus, microRNA deregulation often results in impaired cellular function and disease development, so microRNAs have potential therapeutic relevance. Many aspects of the development of essential hypertension at the molecular level are still unknown. The elucidation of these processes regulated by microRNAs and the identification of novel microRNA targets in the pathogenesis of hypertension is a highly valuable and exciting strategy that may eventually led to the development of novel treatment approaches for hypertension. This article reviews the potential role of microRNAs in the mechanisms associated with the development and consequences of hypertension and discusses advances in microRNA-based approaches that may be important in treating hypertension.
