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

backgroundCatheter-based renal denervation has been studied as a potential therapeutic option to reduce high blood pressure (BP). Preclinical studies in some experimental models have demonstrated an antihypertensive effect of renal denervation but reports from clinical trials have been mixed

methodsWe performed a literature search using combinations of the key terms 'Cardiovascular diseases, Clinical trial, Pre-clinical trials, Resistant hypertension, Renal denervation, Ablation technique, Radiofrequency ablation, Ultrasound ablation, RADIANCE SOLO, SYMPLICITY HTN, SYPRAL HTN'. The databases searched were PubMed and OVID Medline.

resultsThe initial SYMPLICITY HTN-1 AND HTN-2 clinical trials reported significant decreases in office BP but results from the more robustly designed SYMPLICITY HTN-3 trial, which included sham controls and ambulatory BP monitoring, showed no significant antihypertensive effect. Interest in the use of renal denervation in hypertension was once again sparked by favourable results from the SPYRAL HTN-OFF Med trial

conclusionWe provide a thorough, critical analysis of key preclinical and clinical studies investigating the efficacy of catheter-based renal denervation as a treatment for hypertension and highlight future areas for research to allow better translation into clinical practice.
