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

Populations of CD34- and VEGFR2-expressing cells are responsible for regeneration of damaged endothelium and vascular remodelling. As their quantity and activity changes during cardiovascular diseases, they are potentially useful markers of cardiovascular health. The aim of our study was to investigate changes of various CD34+ and CD34+ VEGFR2+ populations in subjects with newly recognised hypertension and to evaluate whether observed alterations are influenced by clinical parameters and angiotensin II. Circulating CD34+ and CD34+ VEGFR2+ cells were analysed in peripheral blood samples by flow cytometry. Serum levels of angiotensin II were determined using immunoenzymatic assay. We discovered increased proportions of various CD34+ populations and CD34+ VEGFR2+ c-Kit+ cells in newly diagnosed patients. CD34+ cells seem to be influenced by angiotensin II, but we did not observe comparable results when populations co-expressing VEGFR2 were analysed. The quantity of CD34+ VEGFR2+ cells in patients with newly recognised primary hypertension ought to be determined by other factors. Increased proportions of CD34+ progenitors in blood could comprise compensatory mechanism for increased endothelial damage in hypertension.
