Urinary excretion of renin and angiotensinogen in hypertensive children and adolescents.

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.
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
introductionIn recent years hypertension has become an emerging condition in the young population. It has been proposed that the renin-angiotensin system plays an important role in regulation of blood pressure. We assessed whether activation of the intrarenal renin-angiotensin system occurs in hypertensive children and adolescents and what better reflects its activity: urine angiotensinogen (AGT) or urine renin (REN). MATERIAL AND
methodsThe study was conducted on a sample of 58 subjects with primary hypertension (HT) and 29 normotensive children and adolescents. We measured urine REN and AGT excretion and assessed the values in relation to blood pressure (BP) and other clinical parameters. Both REN and AGT values were calculated by urine creatinine: REN/cr. and AGT/cr., respectively.
resultsWe observed higher urine REN/cr. values in hypertensive subjects in comparison to the reference group (6.99 vs. 2.93,
conclusionsIncreased urine REN/cr. in hypertensive children and adolescents and its positive correlation with BP may indicate its important role in the pathogenesis of HT. Perhaps urine REN/cr. could be a marker of intrarenal renin-angiotensin system activity. Nevertheless, further research should be undertaken to confirm this observation.
