MR T2* Map to Predict Worsening Hypertension Control: A Preliminary Study.
Article in Life (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Blood pressure measurement is important in monitoring hypertension. However, blood pressure does not provide much information about renal condition in treated hypertension. This study aimed to evaluate renal oxygenation in hypertensive patients using T2* mapping. Subgroup analysis explored whether R2* values can guide adjustments in antihypertensive treatment. A total of 140 consecutive subjects were recruited: 87 hypertensive subjects and 53 normotensive subjects. Hypertensive subjects were classified into non-medication (non-med), angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), and non-ARB-treated groups. Each group was divided into good and poor control subgroups based on blood pressure at enrollment. T2* mapping was utilized to assess renal cortical and medullary R2* values. After a 2-year follow-up, subjects were categorized into stable and unstable based on the need for treatment modifications. The unstable subgroup had higher medullary R2* values than the stable subgroup in all followed patients (
