Secondary prevention of stroke by blood pressure-lowering treatment.
Review in Current hypertension reports, 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
High blood pressure is the most important modifiable risk factor for stroke, accounting for more than 50% of the population-attributable fraction for stroke. There is now strong evidence from randomized trials that blood pressure-lowering treatment is one of the most effective and generalizable strategies for secondary prevention of stroke. Once the patient with stroke has stabilized, all patients should receive blood pressure-lowering therapy, irrespective of their blood pressure levels. Combination therapy with an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor plus a diuretic is an established regimen, but an angiotensin II-receptor blocker may provide an alternative regimen in patients who do not tolerate an ACE inhibitor, especially in combination with a diuretic. For patients with previous stroke, goal blood pressures of < 130/80 mm Hg in hypertensive subjects and < 120/80 mm Hg in normotensive (or "prehypertensive") subjects should be achieved using combination blood pressure-lowering therapy.
