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

The current study aimed to investigate the association between dietary amino acid patterns and incidence of hypertension, using principal components factor analyses. This study was conducted within the framework of Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study on 4288 adults, who were free of hypertension at baseline (2008-2011) and were followed for three years (2011-2014). Principal component factor analyses were conducted based on eight amino acid groups and three amino acid patterns were extracted. The first pattern was characterized by branched chain, aromatic, and alcoholic amino acids, and proline. Acidic amino acids and proline were highly loaded in the second pattern and the third was characterized by sulphuric and small amino acids. Adjusted odds ratio of the highest quartile of the first pattern was 1.83 (95%CI: 1.21-2.77, P for trend = 0.002) compared to the lowest one. The first pattern had high positive correlation with dietary intakes of animal protein and dairy, but was negatively correlated with plant protein, fruit, and vegetable. There was no significant association for the second and third patterns. Findings indicate that the dietary amino acid pattern, rich in branched chain, aromatic, and alcoholic amino acids, and proline could increase the risk of hypertension.
