Cardiovascular implications of hypertensive autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

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
backgroundAutosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is among the most common inherited kidney diseases. Hypertension is a frequent cardiovascular manifestation, especially in adults, but elevated blood pressure is also found in children and adolescents. Acknowledgment of pediatric hypertension early is critical, as it can result in serious complications long-term if left undiagnosed.
objectiveWe aim to identify the influence of hypertension on cardiovascular outcomes, mainly left ventricular hypertrophy, carotid intima media thickness, and pulse wave velocity.
methodsWe performed an extensive search on Medline, Embase, CINAHL, and Web of Science databases through March 2021. Original studies with a mix of retrospective, prospective, case-control studies, cross sectional studies, and observational studies were included in the review. There was no restriction on age group.
resultsThe preliminary search yielded 545 articles with 15 articles included after inclusion and exclusion criteria. In this meta-analysis, LVMI (SMD: 3.47 (95% CI: 0.53-6.41)) and PWV (SMD: 1.72 (95% CI: 0.08-3.36)) were found to be significantly higher in adults with ADPKD compared to non-ADPKD; however, CIMT was not found to be significantly different. Also, LVMI was observed to be significantly higher among hypertensive adults with ADPKD (n = 56) as compared to adults without ADPKD (SMD: 1.43 (95% CI: 1.08-1.79)). Fewer pediatric studies were available with heterogeneity among patient populations and results.
conclusionsAdult patients with ADPKD were found to have worse indicators of cardiovascular outcomes, including LVMI and PWV, as compared to non-ADPKD. This study demonstrates the importance of identifying and managing hypertension, especially early, in this population. Further research, particularly in younger patients, is necessary to further elucidate the relationship between hypertension in patients with ADPKD and cardiovascular disease.
