Anatomic Variations of Renal Arteries as an Important Factor in the Effectiveness of Renal Denervation in Resistant Hypertension.
Review in Journal of cardiovascular development and disease, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Hypertension remains the leading cause of death worldwide. Despite advances in drug-based treatment, many patients do not achieve target blood pressure. In recent years, there has been an increased interest in invasive hypertension treatment methods. Long-term effects and factors affecting renal denervation effectiveness are still under investigation. Some investigators found that the renal arteries' morphology is crucial in renal denervation effectiveness. Accessory renal arteries occur in 20-30% of the population and even more frequently in patients with resistant hypertension. Diversity in renal vascularization and innervation may complicate the renal denervation procedure and increase the number of people who will not benefit from treatment. Based on previous studies, it has been shown that the presence of accessory renal arteries, and in particular, the lack of their complete denervation, reduces the procedure's effectiveness. The following review presents the anatomical assessment of the renal arteries, emphasizing the importance of imaging tests. Examples of imaging and denervation methods to optimize the procedure are presented. The development of new-generation catheters and the advancement in knowledge of renal arteries anatomy may improve the effectiveness of treatment and reduce the number of patients who do not respond to treatment.
