How Does Dietary Potassium Influence BP?
Review in Journal of the American Society of Nephrology : JASN, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Hypertension is a global burden and a major contributor to cardiovascular disease and premature death. Public health guidelines for the management of high BP contain numerous dietary recommendations, of which one is a reduction in salt (NaCl) intake. In addition, the modern diet is also characterized by low potassium (K + ) content and recent guidelines propose increasing K + intake as an alternative or complementary measure to reducing salt intake for lowering of BP. Most beneficial effects of K + supplementation on BP involve a homeostatic response of the kidney to dietary-induced changes in extracellular K + concentrations, particularly decreased reabsorption of NaCl in the distal convoluted tubule. However, the effects of greater K + intake on BP are not linear, and the ideal K + supplementation or intake for management of BP remains unclear. This article covers the mechanisms in the kidney by which changes in K + translate to alterations in BP, the effects of altered K + intake in animal models and human populations, and the importance of concurrent salt intake and what constitutes K + supplementation.
