In one paragraph

Review in Journal of clinical hypertension (Greenwich, Conn.), 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07414732 (The "Savvy for Stroke Survivors" Study), which is not on this map. Cited by 18 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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.

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.

Abstract

The Perindopril Protection Against Recurrent Stroke Study (PROGRESS) was a randomized placebo-controlled trial which clearly demonstrated that perindopril-based blood pressure (BP)-lowering treatment is one of the most effective and generalizable strategies for secondary prevention of stroke. Beneficial effects of BP lowering were observed on recurrent stroke, other cardiovascular events, disability, dependency, and cognitive function across a variety of subgroups defined by age, sex, geographical region, body mass index, diabetes, atrial fibrillation, chronic kidney disease, and baseline BP levels. Once patients with stroke have stabilized, all patients should receive BP-lowering therapy irrespective of their BP levels. On the basis of recommendations from current international guidelines, BP should be lowered to <140/90 mm Hg in all patients with cerebrovascular disease and to <130/80 mm Hg if therapy is well tolerated.
