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

purposeWe sought to investigate the usefulness of stress echocardiography-derived E/e' in predicting subclinical atherosclerosis in asymptomatic hypertensive patients. MATERIALS AND

methods71 newly diagnosed untreated hypertensive patients (48 ± 13 years, 65% males) and 30 age- and sex-matched healthy controls were recruited. Resting and exercise echocardiography was performed to assess resting diastolic blood pressure and the diastolic stress parameters. Coronary flow reserve (CFR) was evaluated as well.

resultsBased on CFR values, newly diagnosed, untreated hypertensives were stratified into hypertensives with microvascular dysfunction (MVD; 34 patients had CFR <2.0) and those without MVD (37 patients had CFR ≥2.0). Patients with MVD had a significantly higher C-reactive protein level (

conclusionWe have demonstrated significant associations between exercise-derived raised left ventricular pressure and coronary MVD in newly diagnosed untreated hypertensive patients. Herein, we supposed that exercise-derived E/e' could predict subclinical atherosclerosis and might be a risk parameter for newly diagnosed untreated hypertensive patients.
