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

Hypertension is a major global cardiovascular disorder characterized by complex and multifactorial pathogenesis. Although numerous antihypertensive therapies are available, a considerable proportion of patients continue to exhibit inadequate blood pressure control. Emerging evidence underscores the central role of mitochondrial dysfunction in the development and progression of hypertension. As regulators of energy metabolism, redox balance, calcium signaling, and cell survival, mitochondria play a significant role in maintaining vascular and neuronal homeostasis. Mitochondrial abnormalities-such as excessive ROS production, impaired mitophagy, disrupted fusion and fission dynamics, and calcium dysregulation—can amplify vascular dysfunction and sympathetic overactivation, thereby elevating blood pressure. This review summarizes current advances in mitochondrial pathophysiology in hypertension and discusses mitochondrial-targeted therapeutic strategies. Natural products derived from traditional Chinese medicine (e.g., apigenin, berberine, curcumin) and Western compounds (e.g., MitoTEMPO, empagliflozin, Mdivi-1) show promise in mitigating mitochondrial stress and lowering blood pressure. A deeper understanding of mitochondria-centered mechanisms may offer novel opportunities for precision therapy, particularly in resistant hypertension.
