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

Introduction: Older adults are a high-risk group for hypertension, with specific characteristics regarding symptoms and treatment. Yishenjiangya granules (YJG), a traditional Chinese medicinal decoction, are widely used to reduce blood pressure and improve clinical symptoms. This study aimed to use metabolomics to explore the clinical effects and underlying mechanisms of YJG in hypertension in older adults. Methods: The study enrolled patients aged ≥65 years, with systolic blood pressure ≥140 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥90 mmHg in sitting positions on different days; the control group comprised 30 healthy participants with normal blood pressure and biochemistry indicators. Ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-TOF-MS) was used to analyze plasma metabolites in patients with hypertension before and after YJG intervention. Results: After YJG treatment, blood pressure decreased significantly; some metabolites showed a trend approaching the control group. UPLC-Q-TOF-MS analysis identified 30 YJG-targeted plasma metabolites in older adult patients with hypertension, including three major metabolic pathways: linoleic acid, arachidonic acid, and glycerophospholipid metabolism. Conclusion: This study identified that metabolite changes may underlie the clinical mechanism of YJG in treating older adult patients with hypertension, providing a basis for further treatment of hypertension.
