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

introductionStudies have shown that primary aldosteronism (PA) has a higher risk of cardiovascular events than essential hypertension (EH). Endothelial dysfunction is an independent predictor of cardiovascular events. Whether PA and EH differ in the endothelial dysfunction is uncertain. Our study was designed to investigate the levels of biomarkers of endothelial dysfunction (Asymmetric dimethylarginine, ADMA; E-selectin, and Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1, PAI-1) and assess the microvascular endothelial function in patients with PA and EH, respectively.

methodsThe biomarkers of endothelial dysfunction were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Microvascular endothelial function was evaluated by Pulse amplitude tonometry (PAT).

resultsThirty-one subjects with EH and 36 subjects with PA including 22 with aldosterone-producing adenoma (APA) and 14 with idiopathic hyperaldosteronism (IHA) were enrolled in our study. The ADMA levels among the three groups were different (APA 47.83 (27.50, 87.74) ng/ml vs EH 25.08 (22.44, 39.79) ng/ml vs IHA 26.00 (22.23, 33.75) ng/ml;

conclusionsOur study shows no significant differences between PA and EH in terms of biomarkers of endothelial dysfunction and microvascular endothelial function. The microvascular endothelial function of PA and EH patients is comparable.
