Associations of renal sinus fat with blood pressure and ectopic fat in a diverse cohort of adults.
Article in International journal of cardiology. Cardiovascular risk and prevention, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Background: Renal sinus fat (RSF) is an ectopic fat depot shown to be associated with visceral adiposity and hypertension in predominantly white populations. The purpose of this analysis is to investigate RSF and associations between RSF and blood pressure in a cohort of African American (AA) and European American (EA) adults. A secondary purpose was to explore risk factors associated with RSF. Methods: Participants were 116 A A and EA adult men and women. Ectopic fat depots were assessed with MRI: RSF, intraabdominal adipose tissue (IAAT), intermuscular adipose tissue (IMAT), perimuscular adipose tissue (PMAT), and liver fat. Cardiovascular measures included diastolic blood pressure (DBP), systolic blood pressure (SBP), pulse pressure, mean arterial pressure, and flow mediated dilation. Matsuda index was calculated for insulin sensitivity. Pearson correlations were used to investigate associations of RSF with cardiovascular measures. Multiple linear regression was used to evaluate contributions of RSF on SBP and DBP and to explore factors associated with RSF. Results: No difference was observed in RSF between AA and EA participants. RSF was positively associated with DBP in AA participants, but this was not independent of age and sex. Age, male sex, and total body fat were positively associated with RSF in AA participants. Insulin sensitivity was inversely and IAAT and PMAT were positively associated with RSF in EA participants. Conclusions: Differential associations of RSF with age, insulin sensitivity, and adipose depots among AA and EA adults suggest unique pathophysiological mechanisms influence RSF deposition, which may contribute to chronic disease etiology and progression.
