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

backgroundHypertension, homocysteine and renal resistive index are associated with atherosclerosis and lead to cardiovascular diseases. In this study, we aimed to investigate the association between homocysteine and renal resistive index in patients with newly diagnosed hypertension.

methodsA total of 221 subjects were included in this case-control study. The study group consisted of 116 hypertensive patients and the control group consisted of 105 healthy subjects. Renal resistive index, homocysteine levels, insulin concentrations and blood pressures were measured.

resultsRenal resistive index, serum homocysteine levels and insulin concentrations were higher in hypertensive patients (p = 0.006, p < 0.001, respectively). Serum homocysteine levels were associated with hypertension (OR 9.5, Cl 95 % 4.86-18.7, p < 0.001). Homocysteine and insulin levels were positively correlated with renal resistive index (r = 0.372, p = 0.001; r = 0.392, p < 0.001, respectively).

conclusionHigh renal resistive index in hypertensive patients is associated with homocysteine.
