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

backgroundWhile the blood pressure (BP)-lowering effect of renal denervation (RDN) has been established, long-term durability is a key prerequisite for a broader clinical implementation.

aimsOur aims were to assess the long-term durability of the office BP (OBP)-lowering efficacy, antihypertensive medication (AHM) use, and safety of ultrasound RDN (uRDN).

methodsFour weeks after withdrawal of AHM, patients with untreated daytime ambulatory BP ≥135/85 mmHg and <170/105 mmHg were randomised to uRDN (n=74) or sham (n=72) in the RADIANCE-HTN SOLO trial. Initiation of AHM was encouraged for home BP >135/85 mmHg following primary endpoint ascertainment at 2 months. Patients and physicians were unblinded at 6 months.  Results: Fifty-one of 74 patients (age: 53.9±11 years; 67% men) originally randomised to uRDN completed the 36-month follow-up. Initial screening OBP upon study entry was 145/92±14/10 mmHg on a mean of 1.2 AHM (range: 0-2.0). Baseline OBP after AHM washout was 154/99±13/8 mmHg. At 36 months, patients were on an average of 1.3 AHM (range: 0-3.0) with 8 patients on no AHM. OBP decreased by 18/11±15/9 mmHg from baseline to 36 months (p<0.001 for both). Overall, OBP control (<140/90 mmHg) improved from 29.4% at screening to 45.1% at 36 months (p=0.059). For patients uncontrolled at screening (n=36), systolic OBP decreased by 10.8 mmHg (p<0.001) at 36 months on similar AHM (p=0.158).

conclusionsThe safety and effectiveness of uRDN was durable to 36 months, with reduced OBP and improved OBP control despite a similar starting medication burden. No new uRDN-related long-term safety concerns were identified.
