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

Pro-inflammatory milieu of chronic kidney disease (CKD) results in endothelial damage and contributes to increased cardiovascular risk. The aim of the study was to evaluate association between neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and plasma relative expression of endothelially abundant miR-126-3p with circadian blood pressure (BP) pattern in CKD patients. This single-center observational study involved CKD stage 1-5 patients and healthy age- and sex-matched control subjects. All study participants had 24-h automatic blood pressure measurement (ABPM) performed. Plasma miRNA was quantified by qRT-PCR, in relation to endogenous U6 snRNA. In total, 90 CKD patients (60 ± 14 years, 52% males, 33 renal transplant recipients) and 25 healthy control subjects (55 ± 13 years, 48% males, p > 0.05) were enrolled in the study. We observed a positive correlation between miR-126-3p and average nighttime SBP (rho = 0.27, P = 0.02), average nighttime DBP (rho = 0.32, P = 0.003), night-day SBP ratio (ND-SBP), rho = 0.23, P = 0.03 and night-day DBP ratio (ND-DBP), rho = 0.26, P = 0.02. A positive association was found between NLR and average nighttime SBP (rho = 0.25, P = 0.01), ND-SBP (rho = 0.26, P = 0.006), and ND-DBP (rho = 0.28, P = 0.03). In the multiple regression model, NLR remained an independent predictor of average nighttime SBP (Beta per log change of NLR [95% CI]: 11.2 [1.8-10.6], P = 0.02), whereas miR-126-3p of nighttime DBP (1.88 [0.48; 3.28], p = 0.009), The results of our study point towards a link between both NLR and miR-126-3p and nighttime hypertension in CKD patients.
