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

Thiazide-type and thiazide-like diuretics are structurally distinct first-line antihypertensive drugs that target the sodium-chloride cotransporter (NCC) in the kidney. Thiazide-like diuretics are reported to have better cardioprotective effects than thiazide-type diuretics, but whether this is due to differences in NCC-inhibition mechanisms, if there is any, remains unclear. To understand the molecular mechanisms of NCC inhibition by thiazide-like diuretics, we determine the structures of human NCC (hNCC) bound to two of the most widely used thiazide-like diuretics, chlorthalidone and indapamide, using cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM). Structural analyses reveal shared features and distinctions between NCC-inhibition by thiazide-like and thiazide-type diuretics. Furthermore, structural comparisons allow us to identify polymorphisms in hNCC that have substantial differential effects on the potencies of specific thiazide-like and thiazide-type diuretics. Our work provides important insights into the molecular pharmacology of NCC and a blueprint for developing precision medicine to manage hypertension with thiazide-like and thiazide-type diuretics.
