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

backgroundHypertension or elevated blood pressure (BP) is a worldwide clinical challenge and the leading primary risk factor for kidney dysfunctions, heart failure, and cerebrovascular disease. The kidney is a central regulator of BP by maintaining sodium-water balance. Multiple genome-wide association studies revealed that BP is a heritable quantitative trait, modulated by several genetic, epigenetic, and environmental factors. The SNPs identified in genome-wide association studies predominantly (>95%) reside within noncoding genomic regions, making it difficult to understand how they regulate BP. Given the central role of the kidney in regulating BP, we hypothesized that chromatin-accessible regions in renal tissue would be enriched for BP-associated single nucleotide polymorphisms.

methodsWe manually dissected 2 important kidney segments that maintain the sodium-water balance: proximal tubules and medullary thick ascending limbs from the human and rat kidneys. To delineate their chromatin and transcriptomic profiles, we performed the assay for transposase-accessible chromatin and RNA sequencing, respectively.

resultsThe chromatin accessibility maps revealed the shared and unique

conclusionsCollectively, this study lays a foundation for interrogating how intergenic single nucleotide polymorphisms may regulate polygenic traits such as BP.
