Association between AT1 receptor gene polymorphism and left ventricular hypertrophy and arterial stiffness in essential hypertension patients: a prospective cohort study.
Article in BMC cardiovascular disorders, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
backgroundAT1 receptor gene (AGTR1) is related to essential hypertension (EH), and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and arterial stiffness are common complications of EH. This study aimed to explore the association between AGTR1 genotype and LVH and arterial stiffness in EH patients.
methodsA total of 179 EH patients were recruited in this study. Oral exfoliated cells were collected from each patient, and the genetic polymorphism of AGTR1(rs4524238) was assessed using a gene sequencing platform. The outcomes were LVH and arterial stiffness.
resultsAmong 179 patients, 114 were with AGTR1 genotype of GG (57 males, aged 59.54 ± 13.49 years) and 65 were with AGTR1 genotype of GA or AA (36 males, aged 61.28 ± 12.79 years). Patients with AGTR1 genotype of GG were more likely to have LVH (47 [41.23%] vs. 14 [21.54%], P = 0.006) and arterial stiffness (30 [26.32%] vs. 8 [12.31%], P = 0.036). The AGTR1 polymorphism frequency was in accordance with Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (P = 0.291). The multivariate logistic regression showed that AGTR1 genotype of GA or AA was independently associated with lower risk of LVH (OR = 0.344, 95%CI 160~0.696, P = 0.003) and arterial stiffness (OR = 0.371, 95%CI 0.155~0.885, P = 0.025) after adjusting for gender, age, and diabetes.
conclusionEH patients with the AGTR1 genotype of GA or AA were at lower risk for LVH and arterial stiffness than those with the GG genotype.
