Association of left ventricular hypertrophy with high-sensitive C-reactive protein in hemodialysis patients.
Article in International urology and nephrology, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers.
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.
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
backgroundMicro inflammation and cardiovascular disease such as left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) are common in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Hence, we have evaluated the relationship between high-sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), as an inflammation marker, and left ventricular mass index (LVMi) and left ventricular mass (LVM) in HD patients.
methodsAn analytical cross-sectional study was performed in 104 HD patients. Serum hs-CRP, LVMi, LVM, and blood pressure were evaluated; demographic data and duration of HD were also recorded. Finally, results were analyzed by using Student's t test, Pearson's correlation coefficient, one-way ANOVA and multiple regression to determine the relationship between LVMi and other variables.
resultsA total of 66 male patients (63.46 %) and 38 female patients, with a mean age of 51.75 ± 15.98 years-old, participated in this study. Hypertension was the most common underlying disease (65.4 %). The mean LVMi was 366.98 ± 120.89 g/m(2) and the mean hs-CRP was 8.55 mg/l. Eighty-nine percent of patients had LVH. The hs-CRP level was significantly associated with age and with LVM (P = 0.0001, P = 0.039, respectively). On multivariate analysis, hs-CRP and systolic blood pressure were found to be independent predictors of LVM and LVMi.
conclusionsThis study shows that hs-CRP and systolic BP are independent predictors of LVH in HD patients.
