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

unlabelledThis study aims to investigate the role of osteopontin (OPN) genetic polymorphisms in the occurrence of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in Chinese patients with essential hypertension (EH). A total of 1,092 patients diagnosed with EH were recruited. Three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) on the promoter region of the OPN gene, including -66T/G, -156G/GG, and -443C/T were genotyped. The serum thrombin-cleaved OPN levels were studied. Patients were divided into LVH+ (n = 443) and the LVH- (n = 649) groups. We found that none of the studied SNPs in the OPN gene was associated with the risk and severity of LVH. The SNPs in the OPN gene did not correlate with the serum OPN levels. However, the serum thrombin-cleaved OPN levels were found to be an independent risk factor for LVH in the EH patients. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that serum thrombin-cleaved OPN levels were independently associated with the development of LVH (adjusted OR = 2.47, 95 % CI 1.56-4.01, adjusted P < 0.001). In vitro studies showed that the thrombin-cleaved OPN treatment increased the protein content per cell, the cardiomyocyte surface size, and the expression level of atrial natriuretic peptide protein in a dose-dependent manner. The thrombin-cleaved OPN serum level, but not OPN gene polymorphism, is associated with the development of LVH in EH patients. KEY MESSAGES: Serum OPN is related to LVH incidence in essential hypertension subjects. OPN stimulates cardiomyocyte hypertrophy in vitro. OPN SNPs are not related to LVH incidence.
