Association between salt sensitivity and blood pressure variability in patients with essential hypertension and predictive value for cardiovascular events.

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
We aimed to explore the association between salt sensitivity and blood pressure variability in patients with essential hypertension. A total of 730 patients with essential hypertension treated from 2016 to 2019 were subjected to salt-sensitivity risk stratification according to 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring. Their clinical data were compared among groups with different grades of salt-sensitivity risk, and the association between salt sensitivity and blood pressure variability was analysed. The influencing factors for cardiovascular events in patients with essential hypertension were analysed through multivariate regression analysis, and their predictive value was detected using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. Salt sensitivity was positively correlated with night-time and 24-hour systolic standard deviation and 24-hour systolic blood pressure coefficient of variation. Age ≥ 55 years, family history of cardiovascular diseases, high risk of salt sensitivity, night-time systolic standard deviation ≥ 14 mmHg, 24-hour systolic standard deviation ≥ 20 mmHg and 24-hour systolic blood pressure coefficient of variation ≥ 13.5% were all independent risk factors for cardiovascular diseases in patients with essential hypertension (
