Serum N-Terminal Pro-B-Type Natriuretic Peptide Level is Negatively Associated with Vascular Reactivity Index by Digital Thermal Monitoring in Patients with Hypertension.

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: B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) coordinates endothelial homeostasis and remodeling, with endothelial dysfunction associated with cardiovascular mortality in the general population without heart failure. The objective of this study was to investigate the correlation between serum N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-pro-BNP) levels and endothelial dysfunction among patients diagnosed with hypertension. Methods: This cross-sectional, single-center study included 90 patients with hypertension. An electrochemiluminescence immunoassay measured NT-pro-BNP levels, and a digital thermal monitoring device calculated a vascular reactivity index (VRI) as a measurement for endothelial function. In this study, VRI Results: Out of all the hypertensive patients, eight (8.9%) displayed poor vascular reactivity (VRI Conclusions: In patients with hypertension, there was a negative association observed between serum log-NT-pro-BNP levels and endothelial dysfunction determined by VRI values.
