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

This retrospective analysis aimed to examine off-target effects on inflammatory and renal function parameters in n=78 subsequent patients treated with renal denervation (RDN) for resistant hypertension. Ambulatory and office blood pressure (ABP/OBP), serum creatinine, glomerular filtration rate (GFR), cystatin C, C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and white blood cell count (WBC) were assessed before, 6 and 12 months after RDN. ABP was significantly reduced by -8.2/-3.8 mm Hg (P=.002/.021) at 1 year after RDN, while an initial OBP reduction was not sustained during follow-up. IL-6 levels significantly decreased by -0.5 pg/mL (P=.042) and by -1.7 pg/mL (P<.001) at 6 and 12 months, baseline IL-6 levels possibly predicting ABP response to RDN (r=-0.295; P=.020). Concurrently, leukocyte count was reduced by -0.5 × 10
