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

Insulin resistance and/or compensatory hyperinsulinemia are associated with hypertension, obesity, dyslipidemia, and glucose intolerance. Insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia are considered to increase blood pressure through sympathetic nervous system activation, renin-angiotensin system stimulation, and vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation. Leptin, magnesium ions, nitric oxide, endothelin, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha also modulate blood pressure. Decreasing insulin resistance by lifestyle modification including diet, weight loss, and physical exercise has been shown to reduce blood pressure. Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors have a beneficial effect on insulin resistance. On the other hand, the angiotensin II antagonist, losartan, does not affect insulin sensitivity. The selective alpha1-blockers have a favorable metabolic profile producing increases in insulin sensitivity. A short-acting type calcium channel blocker seems to decrease insulin sensitivity. On the other hand, long-acting type calcium channel blockers improve insulin sensitivity. Thiazide diuretics and most of the beta-blockers decrease insulin sensitivity. Vasodilatory beta-blockers have been reported to improve insulin sensitivity. Use of low-dose diuretics avoids the adverse effects seen with conventional doses.
