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

backgroundHypertension has been reported to cause impaired cardiovagal modulation and a wide variety of cognitive loss. However, the link cardiovagal modulation to neurocognitive impairment has not been studied yet. The present study has compared the link cardiovagal modulation to neurocognitive impairment between prehypertension and newly diagnosed hypertension in young adults.

methodsOne hundred forty-seven subjects (42 normotensives, 54 prehypertensives and 51 newly diagnosed hypertensives) aged between 18-44 years were included in this case-control study. The demographic, anthropometric, basal parameters, heart rate variability (HRV), cardiovascular autonomic function tests (CAFTs), event-related potential P300 and biochemical parameters were recorded in all the groups. Association of various parameters with neurocognitive deficit was studied by Pearson correlation analysis and independent contribution of various factors to cognitive deficit was assessed by multiple regression analysis in the study groups.

resultsTotal power (TP) of HRV, the marker of cardiovagal modulation was reduced in both prehypertensives and hypertensives compared to controls. Among CAFTs, the ΔDBP

conclusionPrehypertensives had considerable autonomic imbalance, reduced cardiovagal modulation and neurocognitive deficit that were comparable to newly diagnosed hypertensives. Though the causal relationship between cardiovagal modulation and neurocognitive impairment can't be established from the findings of the present study, it appears that neurocognitive deficit might have some possible link to the decreased cardiovagal modulation and metabolic derangements in young prehypertensives and hypertensives.
