Hypertensive nephropathy is associated with an increased risk of myeloma, skin, and renal cancer.
Observational study in Journal of clinical hypertension (Greenwich, Conn.), 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
Previous studies suggest an increased cancer risk in hypertension. Patients with hypertensive nephropathy have not been studied. A national registry study was performed to assess the presence and size of this association. Clinical data and cancer diagnoses for all patients with biopsy-proven hypertensive nephropathy between 1985 and 2015 in Denmark were extracted from four national registries and compared with age- and sex-adjusted national cancer rates. The risk of cancer was twice the background population. It was raised for renal cancer (odds ratio 10.4), myeloma (13.2), skin cancer (7.9), and other/unspecified (1.8). No increase in incidence was seen until 1 year before renal biopsy and then rose rapidly. It was again normal 5 years after biopsy. Hypertensive nephropathy is associated with an increased risk of myeloma, skin, renal, and other cancers. Screening of patients with hypertensive nephropathy, in the presence of reduced renal function or significant proteinuria, may be indicated.
