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

Arterial hypertension contributes considerably to the increased cardiorenal risk of patients with diabetes mellitus type 2. Therefore guideline-writing authorities recommend starting antihypertensive treatment generously, with the aim of reducing blood pressure to levels to < 130/80 mmHg. Nevertheless, results of several recent studies have challenged the currently prevailing paradigm "the lower the better" in hypertension management. A similar paradigm also seems to hold true for the management of blood glucose in these patients. Detailed analyses have shown an increased risk of coronary events by targeting both lower blood pressure and blood glucose levels, especially in those with established cardiovascular disease and especially coronary artery disease--thus, the concept of "the lower the better" should be reconsidered in this group of patients.
