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

Transluminal renal sympathetic denervation (RDN) reduces blood pressure (BP) in patients with drug-resistant uncontrolled hypertension. We assessed the effect of RDN on heart rate, supraventricular and ventricular ectopic activity and indexes of heart rate variability in 14 patients with drug-resistant uncontrolled hypertension who were all responders to RDN (defined as a reduction in office systolic BP ⩾ 10 mm Hg) at baseline and at 1 and 6 months after the procedure using the multielectrode EnligHTN ablation catheter (St Jude Medical). Office and 24-h systolic and diastolic BP were significantly reduced both at 1 and 6 months after RDN and all patients were office BP responders. There was a trend toward office heart rate reduction (by 6.9 b.p.m., P=0.064) at 1 month and a significant reduction by 10 b.p.m. (P=0.004) at 6 months. Mean 24-h Holter monitoring heart rate was reduced by 6.7 b.p.m. (P=0.022) at 1 month and by 5.3 b.p.m. (P=0.010) at 6 months after RDN. The total number of premature supraventricular and ventricular contractions was significantly decreased and time- and frequency- domain indexes were increased both at 1 and at 6 months after RDN (P<0.05 for both cases). Apart from the substantial BP lowering, RDN results in significant reduction of mean heart rate and arrhythmia burden, restoring autonomic balance in responder patients with drug-resistant uncontrolled hypertension.
