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

objectiveTo investigate the curative effects of tanshinone combined with valsartan on hypertensive nephropathy and its influence on renal and endothelial damage.

methodsA total of 102 hypertensive nephropathy patients who were admitted to our hospital from October 2015 to November 2019 were recruited and divided into a monotherapy group (MG, n=54) and a combined group (CG, n=48), in accordance with the treatment methods. Based on routine treatment, patients in the CG received treatment of tanshinone combined with valsartan, while patients in the MG received treatment of valsartan only. The clinical efficacy, adverse reactions, blood pressure, renal function indexes, vascular endothelial injury indexes, levels of inflammatory cytokines and stress response indexes of the two groups were compared.

resultsAfter treatment, the effective rate in the CG was higher than that in the MG, and the levels of systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), serum creatinine (Scr), blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and microalbumin (mAlb) in the CG were lower than those in the MG (P < 0.05). After treatment, endothelin-1 (ET-1) and thromboxane B2 (TXB2) levels in the CG were lower than those in the MG, while nitric oxide (NO) level was higher than that in the MG (P < 0.05). No serious adverse reactions occurred in the two groups during treatment, with similar situations (P > 0.05). The serum levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6), C-reactive protein (CRP), tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α), malondialdehyde (MDA) and advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP) in the CG were lower than those in the MG after treatment, while the level of glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) was higher (P < 0.05).

conclusionTanshinone combined with valsartan can treat hypertensive nephropathy safely and effectively, and reduce renal and endothelial damage by reducing inflammation and oxidative stress.
