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 IrbesartaN/hydroChlorothiazide (HCTZ) bLood pressUre reductionS In diVErse patient populations (INCLUSIVE) trial was a multicenter, prospective, open-label, single-arm study evaluating the efficacy and safety of irbesartan/HCTZ fixed combinations in patients > or = 18 years old with uncontrolled systolic blood pressure (SBP, 140-159 mmHg; 130-159 mmHg for type-2 diabetes mellitus patients) after > or = 4 weeks of antihypertensive monotherapy. This analysis focused on different racial/ethnic subgroups. Treatment was sequential: placebo (4-5 weeks), HCTZ 12.5 mg (two weeks), irbesartan/HCTZ 150/12.5 mg (eight weeks) and irbesartan/HCTZ 300/25 mg (eight weeks). Overall, 515 Caucasians, 191 African Americans and 119 Hispanics/Latinos completing placebo treatment were enrolled. Mean SBP changes from baseline (placebo treatment end) to week 18 were -21.5 +/- 13.8 mmHg for Caucasians, -20.7 +/- 16.5 mmHg for African Americans and -22.9 +/- 13.2 mmHg for Hispanics/Latinos, respectively (p<0.001 for each). Mean diastolic BP (DBP) changes were statistically significant (p<0.001) and similar among racial/ethnic subgroups. By week 18, 70% (95% CI, 66%, 74%) of Caucasian, 66% (95% CI, 59%, 74%) of African-American and 65% (95% CI, 57%, 74%) of Hispanic/Latino patients achieved dual SBP/DBP goal. Treatments appeared to be well tolerated. In conclusion, irbesartan/HCTZ treatment provided SBP/DBP goal attainment in approximately two-thirds of Caucasian, African-American and Hispanic/Latino patients with SBP uncontrolled on antihypertensive monotherapy.
