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

Self-measured salt excretion from overnight urine samples shows significant correlation with 24-h-urinary salt excretion, but it is not known whether a self-measuring method can monitor daily fluctuations in individual salt consumption. In this study, we measured salt excretion from 24-h urine samples (24-h salt) in 50 volunteers over 3 test days (2 weekdays and 1 holiday), and examined to what extent the values correlated with estimates of 24-h salt excretion from overnight urine samples obtained using a self-monitoring device (ON salt). Urine collection was considered successful when the difference between the predicted and actual 24-h-urinary creatinine excretion was within 30%. Thirty-three (M/F=7/26; 39.6±16.7 years) out of 50 participants completed their urine collections successfully and their samples were used in the analysis. Twenty-four-hour salt and ON salt did not significantly differ between test days and between the weekdays and the holiday. Moreover, there was a significant positive correlation between 24-h salt and ON salt for each test day. The coefficients of variation (CVs) for 24-h salt among test days and among subjects were 24.7% and 21.3%, respectively. The CVs for ON salt were lower than those for 24-h salt (13.3% and 17.7%, respectively). In conclusion, self-measurement of salt excretion from overnight urine samples allows estimation of daily salt intake; thus, the use of a self-monitoring device may be a useful motivational tool for personal salt restriction.
