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

Renal denervation (RDN) has emerged as a potential device-based treatment for resistant hypertension. The authors present their experience of the use of catheter-based RDN as part of routine clinical care in two specialist hypertension clinics. Thirty-four patients with uncontrolled hypertension underwent RDN. All patients had ambulatory blood pressure (BP) monitoring and directly observed medication administration prior to the procedure to exclude white-coat hypertension and nonadherence, respectively. Overall, there was a significant change in clinic systolic BP of -15.1 mm Hg (95% confidence interval, -23.4 to -6.8; P=.001) and clinic diastolic BP of -6.2 mm Hg (95% confidence interval, -11.5 to -0.9; P=.02) 6 months postprocedure, and a nonsignificant change in daytime ambulatory BP of -5.4/-2.9 mm Hg. Eighteen patients (51.4%) showed a significant reduction in their clinic systolic BP (≥10 mm Hg) and 16 (47%) had a significant reduction in their daytime ambulatory systolic BP (≥5 mm Hg) at 6 months.
