Review in Hypertension research : official journal of the Japanese Society of Hypertension, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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

Fibromuscular dysplasia is a heterogeneous group of systemic, noninflammatory, and nonatherosclerotic diseases of the vascular wall. It is the second-most common abnormality of the renal artery. Although hypertension is the most common presenting symptom, other symptoms, such as pulsatile tinnitus, stroke, chest pain, or abdominal discomfort, may result from other affected vascular beds. Revascularization of the renal artery appears to be effective at lowering blood pressure in many patients with renal artery fibromuscular dysplasia. For a long time, the intrarenal pathophysiological changes and mechanisms leading to hypertension had hardly been studied in patients with renal artery fibromuscular dysplasia. Recent data, however, has provided more insight into the effects of renal artery fibromuscular dysplasia on the intrarenal microvasculature and the intra-renal renin-angiotensin system in these patients. Moreover, these data have changed our view of the pathophysiological mechanisms leading to hypertension in patients with renal artery fibromuscular dysplasia. In this review, we will discuss recent clinical and scientific developments regarding renal artery fibromuscular dysplasia with an emphasis on its effects on the kidney.
