Review in Current hypertension reports, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

purpose of reviewThe purpose of this study was to summarize recent findings about cardiovascular benefits and safety of aldosterone blockade in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). RECENT

findingsIt is now well recognized that aldosterone's deleterious cardiovascular impact is not limited to its pressor effect arising from an increase in sodium reabsorption in the kidneys. Aldosterone has also been shown to increase blood pressure by a direct activation of the sympathetic nervous system, to cause endothelial and vascular smooth muscle cell dysfunction, myocardial remodeling and fibrosis, and to have pro-arrhythmogenic actions in the heart. These unconventional extra-renal effects of aldosterone make its blockade feasible and potentially beneficial for patients with ESRD. Accumulating data support the idea that aldosterone antagonism leads to a better blood pressure control, reduction in left ventricular (LV) mass, improved LV function, and reduced all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in ESRD patients. Reassuringly, rates of major adverse events, especially, significant hyperkalemia-the most feared adverse consequence-were low with careful patient selection and monitoring.
