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

Excess dietary salt intake is a major contributing factor to the pathogenesis of salt-sensitive hypertension. Strong evidence suggests that salt-sensitive hypertension is attributed to renal dysfunction, vascular abnormalities, and activation of the sympathetic nervous system. Indeed, sympathetic nerve transections or interruption of neurotransmission in various brain centers lowers arterial blood pressure (ABP) in many salt-sensitive models. The purpose of this article is to discuss recent evidence that supports a role of plasma or cerebrospinal fluid hypernatremia as a key mediator of sympathoexcitation and elevated ABP. Both experimental and clinical studies using time-controlled sampling have documented that a diet high in salt increases plasma and cerebrospinal fluid sodium concentration. To the extent it has been tested, acute and chronic elevations in sodium concentration activates the sympathetic nervous system in animals and humans. A further understanding of how the central nervous system detects changes in plasma or cerebrospinal fluid sodium concentration may lead to new therapeutic treatment strategies in salt-sensitive hypertension.
