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

Autoimmunity is increasingly recognized as having a central role in essential hypertension. Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are immunodominant molecules with high interspecies homology and autoimmune reactivity directed against HSP70 may play a role in the pathogenesis of hypertension. Autoimmunity to HSP70 may result from molecular mimicry between human HSP and bacterial HSP or, alternatively, as a response to HSP70-peptide complexes generated during cellular stress and delivered to the major histocompatibility complex by antigen-presenting cells. HSP70 is increased in the circulation and kidney of hypertensive patients, and genetic polymorphisms of HSP70 are associated with essential hypertension. Depending on the route and conditions of administration, HSP70 may induce or suppress immune-related inflammation. Renal inflammation induced by immunity to HSP70 causes hypertension in laboratory animals, and administration of specific peptide sequences of HSP70 results in a protective anti-inflammatory response that prevents and corrects salt-induced hypertension. Potential therapeutic uses of HSP70 in essential hypertension deserve to be investigated. LINKED ARTICLES: This article is part of a themed section on Immune Targets in Hypertension.
