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

A comparative effectiveness analysis of antihypertensive therapy amlodipine (AML) and angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) fixed- and loose-dose combinations (FDCs and LDCs) in achieving blood pressure (BP) reduction and Seventh Report of the Joint National Committee on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation and Treatment of High Blood Pressure (JNC 7) goal attainment was made using retrospective electronic medical record (EMR) data. Treatment goal rates ranged from 35.0% for LDC AML/losartan to 45.7% for FDC AML/olmesartan (OM). FDC AML/OM achieved significantly greater reductions in systolic BP than FDC AML/benazepril (BEN), FDC AML/valsartan (VAL), and LDC AML/ARBs, respectively, and significantly greater reductions in diastolic BP than FDC AML/VAL and LDC therapy, respectively. Compared with patients treated with AML/OM, patients prescribed AML/VAL and LDC AML/ARB were significantly less likely to attain JNC 7 BP goal. Among subpopulations, AML/OM yielded higher rates of goal attainment among both African Americans and obese/overweight patients relative to AML/VAL and combined LDCs. Switchers from monotherapy with AML, OM, or VAL to AML/OM were significantly more likely to attain JNC 7 goals than those switching to AML/VAL or AML/BEN.
