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

backgroundEarly detection of ophthalmological and kidney complications of hypertension in children and adolescents may play a significant role in prophylaxis and prevent irreversible organ damage. This study aimed to assess standard kidney injury markers (creatinine, urea, uric acid, cystatin C, 24-h microalbuminuria), as well as potential ophthalmological changes using optical coherence tomography (OCT) and optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) in the early course of newly diagnosed hypertension in children and adolescents.

methodsThe study group consisted of 56 children and adolescents with newly diagnosed hypertension who had not received antihypertensive treatment prior to the study. Fifteen individuals served as controls. The ECHO, abdominal ultrasound, ophthalmological examination, urine and blood tests were performed.

resultsThe concentration of cystatin C was increased in patients with hypertension. Children and adolescents with hypertension had decreased values of GFR (90.31 ± 13.00 ml/min/1.73 m

conclusionsPediatric patients with newly diagnosed hypertension have increased concentrations of cystatin C and hypofiltration estimated by the Filler equation. OCT-A might be considered a diagnostic tool for better understanding the early process of microvascular changes and the influence of concomitant comorbidities in newly diagnosed systemic hypertension.
