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

This review emphasizes the importance of investigating the gut itself-beyond microbiota-centered studies in the context of hypertension. Since the initial discovery of the connection between gut microbiota and blood pressure regulation, research has increasingly focused on understanding the role of gut microbiota and exploring strategies to modify it for better blood pressure management. The intestine as an organ has received comparatively less attention. Yet, hypertension-associated intestinal pathological changes are well documented in both rodent models and human patients. Research to restore the intestinal function may serve as a valuable but unexplored therapeutic target. This underscores the need for a summary of our understanding of the gut's intrinsic physiological and pathological roles in hypertension. To address this, we structured our review to (1) revisit the physiological functions of the intestine; (2) describe the pathological changes that are associated with hypertension; (3) summarize available current studies targeting to restore intestinal function for blood pressure control; and (4) discuss knowledge gaps and future opportunities.
