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

objectiveThis study mainly analyzed the alterations of serum inflammatory cytokines (ICs) and fibrosis makers in patients with essential hypertension (EH) and the risk factors (RFs).

methodsIn this retrospective study, a total of 145 patients with EH admitted from January 2013 to January 2018 were selected as the research subjects, among which 89 patients without left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) were included in the EH group and 56 patients with LVH were set as the LVH group. In addition, another 50 healthy subjects who underwent physical examination during the same period were selected as the healthy control (HC) group. The alterations of serum ICs such as interleukin (IL)-6, IL-10 and IL-18, and fibrosis makers like type III procollagen (PCIII), fibronectin (LN) and hyaluronic acid (HA) of the three groups were analyzed, and the RFs of LVH in EH patients were analyzed using the multivariate logistic model.

resultsStatistically higher levels of IL-6, IL-18, PCIII, LN and HA with lower IL-10 levels were determined in the LVH group compared with the EH group. In comparison with the HC group, IL-6, IL-18, PCIII, LN and HA in the EH group were significantly higher, while IL-10 was significantly lower. On the other hand, BMI, LVMI, IL-6, IL-18, PCIII, LN, and HA were identified by multivariate logistic analysis to be the RFs affecting LVH in EH patients, while IL-10 was its protective factor.

conclusionsThe above results suggest that serum ICs (except IL-10) and fibrosis markers are up-regulated abnormally in EH patients with LVH, and BMI, LVMI, IL-6, IL-10, IL-18, PCIII, LN, and HA are all independent predictors of LVH in EH patients.
