Managing hypertension in African-American patients.
Review in Journal of clinical hypertension (Greenwich, Conn.), 2004. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Epidemiologic evidence indicates that African Americans are at greater risk for hypertension compared with other ethnic groups in the United States. The prevalence of hypertension is estimated to be approximately 37% for this group, compared with 20%-25% for non-Hispanic whites. Hypertension seems to follow a more malignant course in African Americans, possibly as a result of the higher prevalence of concomitant cardiovascular risk factors in this population. Compared with white persons with hypertension, these patients are at increased risk for left ventricular hypertrophy, heart failure, and end-stage renal disease. Data suggest that ethnicity may influence the response to certain types of antihypertensive medication. Additional data indicate that more aggressive use of combination therapy may improve clinical outcomes among high-risk hypertensive patients. Based on these findings, recommendations are made for the optimal clinical management of hypertension in African-American patients.
