Does the kidney influence the hunger for salt?
Article in Kidney international, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Sympathetic overactivation contributes to hypertension. Renal denervation can reduce blood pressure. In the deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA)-salt model of hypertension, salt consumption contributes to high blood pressure. A report in Kidney International finds selective ablation of renal sensory afferent nerves diminishes self-directed saline intake in the DOCA-salt rat. This suggests that these sensory nerves input to centers in the brain, amplifying salt intake. If translatable, renal denervation may have an unanticipated benefit of reducing the drive to consume salty foods in patients with poorly controlled hypertension.
