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

backgroundHuman cytomegalovirus (CMV) has been linked to the pathogenesis of elevated arterial blood pressure (BP). Our study aimed to determine the association between anti-CMV titers and arterial BP in the Kazakh and Han Chinese populations. MATERIAL AND

methodsKazakh and Han (n = 800 each) (age, ≥18 years) subjects from Xinjiang, China were examined for anti-CMV immunoglobulin (Ig)G titers using a commercially available enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit. The highest anti-CMV titer tertiles determined within gender and ethnicity groups were compared against the two lower tertiles and seronegative samples.

resultsMultivariate linear regression analysis revealed that anti-CMV titers were independent determinants for elevated systolic (p = 0.006) BP in Kazakh women and inversely associated with systolic (p = 0.004) and mean arterial (p = 0.019) BP in Han women.

conclusionThe association between CMV infection and/or resulting immune response and BP elevation differed by sex and ethnicity. In Kazakh women, they were associated with elevated BP and the opposite was true among Han women.
