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.

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.

Abstract

backgroundLarge between-person differences in blood pressure (BP) responses to sodium reduction, potassium supplementation, and potassium-enriched salt have been suggested by prior studies. However, limitations in research designs and misinterpretation of findings mean that overestimation of true between-person variation in response is likely.

methodsSystolic BP (SBP) response during a 4-week run-in period on potassium-enriched salt was measured for 608 individuals. Participants were defined as apparently sensitive if SBP fell and apparently resistant if SBP was unchanged or rose. The effect of potassium-enriched salt compared with regular salt on SBP was then compared for apparently sensitive versus apparently resistant groups over a subsequent 12-month postrandomization period. A linear mixed model was used to determine how background within-person BP variability contributed to apparent between-person differences in BP response.

resultsApparent between-person variability in SBP response during run-in was substantial (mean SBP response, -13.7 [SD, 19.3; range, -80 to +56.5] mm Hg). Run-in identified 477 individuals as apparently sensitive and 131 as apparently resistant. Mean effects on SBP of potassium-enriched salt compared with regular salt over 12 months post-randomization were -2.2 mm Hg for apparently sensitive and -7.2 mm Hg for apparently resistant individuals, with no difference between the 2 groups (

conclusionsIndividuals classified as responsive or resistant to potassium-enriched salt during initial exposure did not differ in their response to subsequent exposure. REGISTRATION: URL: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov; Unique identifier: NCT00145756.
