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

White coat hypertension (WCH) is a high cardiovascular risk condition, and a fundamental understanding of the cause and pathophysiology of the disorder is still lacking. Recent studies demonstrated that microRNAs (miRNAs) are involved in hypertension; however, the roles of miRNAs in WCH are not known. The expressions of selected 10 miRNAs were investigated independently in plasma samples from 30 hypertension (HT) patients, 30 WCH patients, and 30 normotensive (NT) subjects. MiR-21, miR-122, miR-637, and let-7e expression levels were significantly upregulated in the HT group compared with the NT groups (P = 0.017, P = 0.022, P = 0.048, and P = 0.013, respectively). MiR-122 and miR-637 expressions were also significantly upregulated in the WCH group compared with the NT group (P = 0.048 and P = 0.039, respectively). MiR-296-5p expression level was significantly downregulated in HT patients and upregulated in the WCH patients compared with the NT group (P = 0.049 and P = 0.039, respectively). Additionally, the ambulatory 24-hour and daytime systolic and diastolic blood pressures were negatively correlated with miR-296-5p. MiR-296 and miR-637 had area under the curve (AUC) values of 0.778 and 0.774, respectively, which demonstrates their sufficiency to distinguish WCH from NT individuals. MiR-296 and miR-637 had AUC values of 0.868 and 0.680, respectively, which shows their potential to distinguish WCH from HT individuals. We report for the first time a plasma miRNA profile for WCH patients and demonstrate a novel link between miRNA and WCH. These findings may reveal crucial insights into the development of WCH.
