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

backgroundSympathetic nerve activation followed by obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) accounts for blood pressure elevation. The effectiveness of renal denervation (RDN) in controlling blood pressure in patients with OSA remains controversial. In this systematic review, we tried to pool currently available data to assess the effects of RDN therapy on blood pressure in OSA patients.

methodsWe retrieved Pubmed, EMbase and Cochrane Library through 17 May 2023, using the following key words: "renal denervation" and"obstructive sleep apnea". Full articles reporting the change of blood pressure after RDN procedure were included.

resultsA total of five studies were included in the meta-analysis. Pooled analysis showed that RDN markedly reduced both 24-h ambulatory systolic blood pressure (24 h-SBP) (Mean difference (MD): -7.54mmHg; 95%Cl: -10.16 to -4.91mmHg; I2 = 0%) and 24-h ambulatory diastolic blood pressure (24 h-DBP) (MD: -5.28mmHg; 95%Cl: -7.35 to -3.22mmHg; I

conclusionsRDN exerts a considerable blood pressure-lowering effect in hypertensive patients with OSA, which was sustained at least 6 months.
