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

Stem cells have great clinical significance in many cardiovascular diseases. However, there are limited data regarding the involvement of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in the pathophysiology of arterial hypertension. The aim of this study was to investigate the circulation of MSCs in patients with essential hypertension. The authors included 24 patients with untreated essential hypertension and 19 healthy individuals. Using flow cytometry, MSCs in peripheral blood, as a population of CD45-/CD34-/CD90+ cells and also as a population of CD45-/CD34-/CD105+ cells, were measured. The resulting counts were translated into the percentage of MSCs in the total cells. Hypertensive patients were shown to have increased circulating CD45-/CD34-/CD90+ compared with controls (0.0069%±0.012% compared with 0.00085%±0.0015%, respectively; P=.039). No significant difference in circulating CD45-/CD34-/CD105+ cells was found between hypertensive patients' and normotensive patients' peripheral blood (0.018%±0.013% compared with 0.015%±0.014%, respectively; P=.53). Notably, CD45-/CD34-/CD90+ circulating cells were positively correlated with left ventricular mass index (LVMI) (r=0.516, P<.001). Patients with essential hypertension have increased circulating MSCs compared with normotensive patients, and the number of MSCs is correlated with LVMI. These findings contribute to the understanding of the pathophysiology of hypertension and might suggest a future therapeutic target.
