A validation of estimated total peripheral resistance using twin data.
Article in Biomedical sciences instrumentation, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Chronically elevated total peripheral resistance (TPR) is a suspected contributor to the greater rates of hypertension in African Americans. Previous research suggests that over 50% of the variability in measures of vascular resistance may be attributable to genetic effects and genetic effects may play an even greater role in variability of TPR in African Americans. We have previously demonstrated the coherence of a simple equation-based estimate of total peripheral resistance (TPRest) with TPR obtained via a validated method (Hill et al, 2013). We sought further validation by estimating heritability for this measure. Using quantitative genetic analysis, heritabilites were calculated for TPRest during both a resting baseline and orthostasis in a population-based sample of African American mono- and dizygotic twins (mean age = 49.82 ± 14.62). Estimated heritability was greater for males (h2 = .40) both at rest and during orthostasis, compared to all other groups. This value is consistent with previously published point estimates of heritability. Collectively, these findings provide additional support for the validity of TPRest as a practical alternative for deriving additional hemodynamic data from archival sources.
