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

Lower nitric oxide (NO) bioavailabilty associates with hypertension in patients and elderly populations. With hypertension known to develop earlier in black populations, we compared both plasma and urinary NO-related markers and their associations with central systolic blood pressure (cSBP) and arterial stiffness in healthy young black and white adults. We included healthy black and white men and women (n = 1110; 20-30 years) and measured cSBP and pulse wave velocity (PWV), along with both plasma and urinary arginine, homoarginine, asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA), symmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA), as well as urinary ornithine/citrulline, nitrite and nitrate. In addition, the urinary nitrate-to-nitrite ratio (U
