Hypertension Exacerbates Endothelial Dysfunction in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation.
Article in Journal of clinical hypertension (Greenwich, Conn.), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Atrial fibrillation (AF) and hypertension (HT) often coincide and both are independently associated with endothelial dysfunction. We tested the hypothesis that brachial artery flow-mediated dilation (FMD), an indicator of endothelial health, will be poorer in AF patients with HT (AF + HT) than AF without concurrent HT. In a cross-sectional design study, AF (n = 29; mean 70 years; 9 females) and AF + HT (n = 33; 68 years (p = 0.302); 14 females) patients underwent Duplex-Doppler ultrasound imaging of brachial artery diameter and flow velocity during baseline (2 min), distal tourniquet cuff inflation (5 min), and following cuff deflation (3 min). The peak increase in artery diameter following cuff deflation was taken as FMD and analyzed as absolute, percentage change, FMD and shear-rate area-under-the-curve (SR
