Independent influence of overweight and obesity on the regression of left ventricular hypertrophy in hypertensive patients: a meta-analysis.

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
Overweight and obesity are associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes. However, the role of overweight and obesity in left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) of hypertensive patients is controversial. The aim of the current meta-analysis was to evaluate the influence of overweight and obesity on LVH regression in the hypertensive population.Twenty-eight randomized controlled trials comprising 2403 hypertensive patients (mean age range: 43.8-66.7 years) were identified. Three groups were divided according to body mass index: normal weight, overweight, and obesity groups.Compared with the normal-weight group, LVH regression in the overweight and obesity groups was more obvious with less reduction of systolic blood pressure after antihypertensive therapies (P < 0.001). The renin-angiotensin system inhibitor was the most effective in regressing LVH in overweight and obese hypertensive patients (19.27 g/m, 95% confidence interval [15.25, 23.29], P < 0.001), followed by β-blockers, calcium channel blockers, and diuretics. In the stratified analysis based on blood pressure measurement methods and age, more significant LVH regression was found in 24-h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) group and in relatively young patients (40-60 years' old) group (P < 0.01).Overweight and obesity are independent risk factors for LVH in hypertensive patients. Intervention at an early age and monitoring by ABPM may facilitate therapy-induced LVH regression in overweight and obese hypertensive patients.
