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

purpose of reviewPatients with true resistant hypertension (RH) are characterized by having high sympathetic activity and therefore potentially benefit from treatments such as baroreflex amplification (baroreflex activation therapy (BAT) or endovascular baroreflex amplification therapy (EVBA)) or carotid body (CB) modulation. This review aims at providing an up-to-date overview of the available evidence regarding these two therapies. RECENT

findingsIn recent years, increasing evidence has confirmed the potential of baroreflex amplification, either electrically (Barostim neo) or mechanically (MobiusHD), to improve blood pressure control on short- and long-term with only few side effects, in patients with RH. Two studies regarding unilateral CB resection did not show a significant change in blood pressure. Only limited studies regarding CB modulation showed promising results for transvenous CB ablation, but not for unilateral CB resection. Despite promising results from mostly uncontrolled studies, more evidence regarding the safety and efficacy from ongoing large randomized sham-controlled trials is needed before baroreflex amplification and CB modulation can be implemented in routine clinical practice.
