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 (HTN) is one of the largest contributors to cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality in the USA and is estimated to affect 47% of the US population; however, recent estimates suggest that over 40% continue to have uncontrolled HTN. In the past decade, multiple placebo-controlled randomized studies have shown the safety and efficacy of renal denervation as an adjunctive therapy, culminating in the recent approval of two devices by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). These devices use either radiofrequency or ultrasound energies to ablate the perivascular sympathetic nerves in the renal arteries and have been shown to reduce blood pressure. In this immediate post-FDA approval era, there are still multiple issues regarding the future of the technology in its applications and reimbursement landscapes.
