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

Background: Exosomes show promise as biomarkers for essential hypertension (EH) progression and complications. However, existing studies on dysregulation of exosomal biomarkers in hypertension lack consistency. Thus, we conducted a comprehensive systematic review to synthesize evidence on exosomal biomarkers associated with EH. Methods: We performed an exhaustive search across PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Database, and Chinese Clinical Trial Registry. Our search encompassed all available Chinese and English records from their inception through August 14 Results: The qualitative analysis included 11 identified studies, which revealed moderate-to-high methodological quality (JBI: 6 moderate, 4 high), with one study exhibiting a moderate risk of bias (ROBINS-I). This systematic review revealed that exosomal biomarkers in blood and urine had diagnostic potential for hypertension and its complications. Evidence suggested that exosomal biomarkers were associated with hypertensive vascular dysfunction (e.g., increased miR-320d/423-5p) and may provide a molecular basis for precise typing of hypertension (platelet-derived extracellular vesicles). Notably, exosomal biomarkers may serve as indicators of target organ damage, reflecting early renal injury (decreased miR-26a-5p) and cognitive dysfunction (decreased miR-330-3p) in hypertension. Conclusions: This systematic review highlights the value of blood and urine exosomal biomarkers in the early diagnosis, precise typing, and monitoring of target organ damage in hypertension and its complications. Future studies should systematically compare exosomal biomarkers with conventional markers using standardized protocols. Methodological improvements should focus on expanding larger sample sizes, enhancing reporting completeness and transparency, and standardizing data-sharing practices.
