Microalbuminuria as an indicator for LVH severity in patients with primary hypertension.
Article in Journal of family medicine and primary care, 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
Background: Hypertension is among the most complex global public health concerns. Hypertension and kidney diseases share a strong correlation. The existence of microalbuminuria signifies early renal impairment. Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is one of the early indicators of target organ damage in hypertension individuals. Objective: To evaluate the connection between microalbuminuria and left ventricular mass index (LV mass index), as well as systolic and diastolic blood pressure, in people with primary hypertension. Methods: This cross-sectional analytical study was conducted for about 2 years and included 125 essential hypertensive patients who met JNC-8 criteria for ambulatory hypertension. Urine albumin excretion was estimated by the method of immunoturbidimetry. 2D echocardiography was performed to determine the LV mass index. Statistical analysis by standard methods to measure proportions and Chi-square test for analyzing association between variables was used. Results: Out of the 125 patients, 50 (40.0%) patients had LVH and 51 (40.8%) patients had microalbuminuria. Patients with LVH exhibited a prevalence of microalbuminuria at 72%. Microalbuminuria was significantly related with diastolic blood pressure and LV mass index. Conclusion: This study shows that microalbuminuria is very common in essential hypertension with LVH. There is a significant association of microalbuminuria with LV mass index and diastolic blood pressure in patients of primary hypertension.
