Circulating endothelial progenitor cells in hypertensive patients with increased arterial stiffness.
Article in Journal of clinical hypertension (Greenwich, Conn.), 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
The potential association between arterial stiffening and circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) in patients with essential hypertension was investigated. Pulse wave velocity (PWV) was used to evaluate arterial stiffness in 24 patients with essential hypertension and 19 healthy controls. Blood samples were taken and immunostained with antibodies against the cell surface markers CD34, CD45, and CD133. Using flow cytometry, EPCs as a population of CD45-/CD34+/CD133+ cells were measured. Hypertensive patients were not found to have higher levels of circulating CD45-/CD34+/CD133+ compared with the control group (0.0026%±0.0031% vs 0.0023%±0.0023%, respectively; P=.7). Correlation analysis revealed a strong association between the number of CD45-/CD34+/CD133+ cells and PWV (r=0.58, P<.001), indicating that hypertensive patients with increased PWV have a greater percentage of CD45-/CD34+/CD133+ cells. Data showed a correlation between the number of circulating CD45-/CD34+/CD133+ cells and arterial stiffness, suggesting that those cells might have a role in arterial remodeling.
