The Impact of Gitelman Syndrome on Cardiovascular Disease: From Physiopathology to Clinical Management.
Review in Reviews in cardiovascular medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Gitelman syndrome (GS), or congenital hypokalemic hypomagnesemia hypocalciuria with metabolic alkalosis, is a congenital inherited tubulopathy. This tubulopathy is associated with disorders of water-electrolyte homeostasis, such as metabolic alkalosis, hypokalemia, hyponatremia, hypomagnesemia and hypocalciuria. GS has an autosomal recessive inheritance. The loss-of-function mutation involves the gene that codifies for thiazide-sensitive sodium-chloride co-transporter located in the distal convoluted tubule. The physiopathology of the syndrome is characterized by activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) with a low plasmatic concentration of angiotensin-II. Despite hyper-activation of RAAS, average or low blood pressure is detected in association with low peripheral resistance and reduced response to vasopressors. Clinical findings are brief episodes of fatigue, syncope, vertigo, ataxia and blurred vision; sudden cardiac death might occur. This review aims to give insight into cardiovascular implications and management of GS.
