Hypertension-Mediated Organ Damage in Relation to Severity of Chronic Low Back Pain in Hypertensive Patients.
Article in Journal of cardiovascular development and disease, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
introductionChronic pain triggers a stress response, which results in increased blood pressure (BP). We investigated whether chronic low back pain (cLBP) in hypertensive patients is associated with an increased risk of hypertension-related organ damage.
methodsWe studied 85 consecutive hypertensive patients with a median age of 62 years (55-67), who suffered from cLBP, the severity of which was evaluated according to the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI). Patients underwent transthoracic echocardiography, arterial ultrasonography and vascular tonometry. We assessed carotid artery atherosclerotic plaques, along with carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cf-PWV) and left ventricular mass index (LVMI).
resultsAn equal to or higher than median (16 points) ODI score in 48 subjects (56.5%) was associated with the presence of carotid artery plaques (
conclusionsWe observed that more severe cLBP is associated with a higher prevalence of carotid artery atherosclerotic plaques among hypertensive patients.
