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

purposeVascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a potent angiogenic factor that affects blood pressure by promoting vasodilation mediated by nitric oxide. Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEi) up-regulate the VEGF expression; thus, genetic polymorphisms in the VEGFA gene could affect the antihypertensive responses to these drugs.

methodsHypertensive patients (n = 102) were prospectively treated only with the ACEi enalapril for 60 days. We compared the effect of VEGFA polymorphisms on changes in blood pressure after enalapril treatment. In addition, multiple linear regression analysis was carried out to assess the effect of covariates on blood pressure. Genotypes for g.-2578C>A (rs699947), g.-1154G>A (rs1570360), and g.-634G>C (rs2010963) VEGFA polymorphisms were determined, and haplotype frequencies were estimated.

resultsIndividuals carrying the CA and AA genotypes for the g.-2578C>A polymorphism and the AGG haplotype showed more intense decrease in blood pressure in response to enalapril 20 mg/day. A multiple linear regression analysis showed that the AA genotype for the g.-2578C>A polymorphism and the AGG haplotype are associated with more intense decrease in blood pressure in response to enalapril 20 mg/day, while the CC genotype for the g.-2578C>A polymorphism and the CGG haplotype are associated with the opposite effect.

conclusionsThese findings suggest that polymorphisms in VEGFA gene may affect the antihypertensive responses to enalapril.
