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

introductionRenal denervation (RD) can lead to a significant and sustained decrease in mean values of arterial blood pressure (BP). However, there is still a subset of patients without a significant BP drop after RD (non-responders).

aimTo compare characteristics of RD responders to RD non-responders and to identify the clinical predictors of BP reduction. MATERIAL AND

methodsThirty-one patients with diagnosed resistant hypertension underwent RD. Three years after RD the analysis of BP reduction was performed in regard to the baseline patient characteristics.

resultsAfter 3 years' follow-up a 10% or more reduction of systolic baseline BP was observed in 74% of patients. Ten percent or more reduction of diastolic baseline BP was observed in 71% of patients. Among responders we observed the following risk factors: hypercholesterolemia in 70%, body mass index (BMI) > 30 kg/m

conclusionsA 10% reduction of systolic baseline BP was observed in 74% of patients 3 years after renal denervation. Clinical factors like COPD, chronic kidney disease 3a, female sex and hypercholesterolemia increase the chances of effective reduction of BP.
