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

We investigated whether different degrees of hypertension-related cardiovascular involvement are associated with changes in circulating proangiogenic hematopoietic cell (PHC) numbers and/or phenotypes and/or in the PHC redox system in hypertensive individuals with isolated arterial stiffening (AS) hypertensives or with both carotid intima-media thickening and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) hypertensives. We also evaluated microRNA (miRs) 221 and 222 (miRs221/222) expression in CD34+ cells, the relationship between these miRs and cell number and reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, and the expression of manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD), catalase (CAT) glutathione peroxidase type-1 (GPx-1) and gp91phox-containing nicotinamide-adenine-dinucleotide-phosphate-oxidase (NOX2). Proangiogenic hematopoietic cells (PHCs) from hypertensive patients and controls were isolated by flow cytometry. PHCs were higher in hypertensives than in controls but were lower in LVH than in AS hypertensives. In CD34+ cells from AS hypertensives, NOX2, MnSOD, CAT and GPx-1 were overexpressed; ROS, miRs and NOX2 were also increased and were associated with cell number. In LVH, we found an imbalance in the cell redox system; MnSOD showed the highest values, whereas CAT and GPx-1 were lower than in AS hypertensives. Intracellular ROS, miRs and NOX2 were higher and inversely associated with cell number. In AS hypertensives, the redox balance may sustain the increase in PHCs; by contrast, in hypertensives with more advanced lesions, redox imbalance may result in increased oxidative stress and cell reduction.
