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

Aldosterone is one of the most essential hormones synthesized by the adrenal gland because it regulates water and electrolyte balance. G protein-coupled estrogen receptor (GPER) is a newly discovered aldosterone receptor, which is proposed to mediate the non-genomic pathways of aldosterone while the hormone simultaneously interacts with mineralocorticoid receptor. In contrast to its cardio-protective role in postmenopausal women via its interaction with estrogen, GPER seems to trigger vasoconstriction effects and can further induce water and sodium retention in the presence of aldosterone, indicating two entirely different binding sites and effects for estrogen and aldosterone. Accumulating evidence also points to a role of aldosterone in mediating hypertension and its risk factors via the interaction with GPER. Therefore, with this review, we aimed to summarize the research on these interactions to help (1) elucidate the role of GPER activated by aldosterone in the blood vessels, heart, and kidney; (2) compare the non-genomic actions between aldosterone and estrogen mediated by GPER; and (3) address the potential of GPER as a new promising therapeutic target for aldosterone-induced hypertension.
