Epidemiology of risk factors for hypertension: implications for prevention and therapy.
Review in Drugs, 1999. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 24 papers.
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.
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
We review the present knowledge of risk factors for arterial hypertension. Both genetic and environmental factors as well as their interaction and biological plausibility are reviewed. Recent data confirm that the interaction of genetics with multiple environmental risk factors explains the high prevalence of hypertension in the industrialised countries. The most important modifiable environmental risk factors are high salt intake, alcohol intake, obesity and low physical activity. The role of stress in the aetiology of high blood pressure is still under investigation, but recent clinical experimental and epidemiological data have shed light on how stress could be related to hypertension. The implications for prevention and treatment are discussed both at the population and individual levels. The population approach involves a public health policy aiming at modification of the major risk factors. The individual approach involves nonpharmacological measures to prevent the development of hypertension and to treat high normal blood pressure and mild hypertension with no additional cardiovascular risk factors. Pharmacological treatment of hypertension in most individuals should use agents that have been proven to be effective in randomised controlled trials with 'hard' endpoints such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular morbidity and mortality.
