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

The major antihypertensive drug classes appear to exert differing effects on glycemic control and diabetes incidence. Thiazide diuretic and beta-blockers are potentially diabetogenic, whereas calcium channel blockers appear neutral. Inhibitors of the renin-angiotensin system are associated with improvements in glycemic control and may lower diabetes incidence, but it is not clear if this represents a truly preventive effect. Also, it should be noted that previous studies have reported inconsistent results, and the data to date are not definitive. We suggest that inhibitors of the renin-angiotensin system be used as first-line agents in uncomplicated hypertensive patients who are at high risk for developing type 2 diabetes. Thiazides and beta-blockers should not be avoided in patients with compelling indications for these drugs. Many hypertensive patients (particularly those who are obese or have prediabetes) require several agents to achieve target blood pressure levels. Therefore, the choice of initial agent is far less important than ensuring that target blood pressure goals are reached.
