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

Background: Hypertension-mediated organ damage (HMOD) is a critical complication of hypertension that can present with cardiac, retinal, and renal manifestations and affect patient outcomes. Serum signal peptide, CUB (complement C1r/C1s, Uegf, and Bmp1) domain, and epidermal growth factor-like domain-containing protein 1 (SCUBE-1), a novel biomarker implicated in vascular pathology, shows promise for detecting HMOD. This study aims to explore the relation between SCUBE-1 levels and HMOD in hypertensive patients. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 115 participants, comprising 79 hypertensive patients and 36 healthy controls. The hypertensive patients were divided into two groups based on HMOD presence. SCUBE-1 levels were measured to evaluate their diagnostic utility in detecting HMOD. Results: Hypertensive patients exhibited significantly higher SCUBE-1 levels than controls (160.70 ng/mL vs. 75.64 ng/mL, Conclusions: Our study has revealed that SCUBE-1 levels are significantly elevated in hypertensive patients, particularly those with HMOD. The findings support the potential of SCUBE-1 as a valuable biomarker for predicting organ damage in hypertensive patients.
