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 reviewVitamin D and its derivatives are biologically active fat-soluble steroid hormones, which are transcription factors for numerous genes. The results of several observational studies suggest the relationship between plasma concentration of vitamin D and the risk of arterial hypertension, as well as between the intensity of insolation and the risk of arterial hypertension. RECENT

findingsBased on the results of the abovementioned studies, it was hypothesized that vitamin D is characterized by the antihypertensive properties. Animal experiments have shown that vitamin D reduces activity of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and improves vasorelaxation of blood vessels. Results of clinical studies did not confirm these results. Moreover in interventional clinical trials, it was documented that supplementation of vitamin D did not reduce blood pressure. The influence of exposure to sunshine at different wave lengths on blood pressure was examined in clinical studies and it was found that ultraviolet A radiation (UVA) lead to the release of nitric oxide from the skin. This might explain lower level of blood pressure in subjects from the regions with a higher rate of insolation. The aim of this review is to summarize current knowledge concerning the relationship between vitamin D and arterial hypertension based on both observational and interventional studies.
