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

Hypertension is a heritable disease that affects one-fourth of the population and accounts for about 50% of cardiovascular deaths. The genetic basis of hypertension is multifaceted, involving both monogenic and most commonly complex polygenic forms. With the advent of the human genome project, genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified a plethora of loci linked to hypertension by examining common genetic variations. It's notable, however, that the majority of these genetic variants do not affect the protein-coding sequences, posing a considerable obstacle in pinpointing the actual genes responsible for hypertension. Despite these challenges, precise mapping of GWAS-identified loci is emerging as a promising strategy to reveal novel genes and potential targets for the pharmacological management of blood pressure. This review provides insight into the monogenic and polygenic causes of hypertension. Special attention is given to PRDM6, among the earliest functionally characterized GWAS-identified genes. Moreover, this review delves into the roles of genes contributing to renal and vascular forms of hypertension, offering insights into their genetic and epigenetic mechanisms of action.
