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

Hypertension is one of the most important cardiovascular (CV) risk factor, and that lowering blood pressure levels reduces the incidence of CV morbidity and mortality. The higher incidence of hypertension in post-menopausal than in pre-menopausal women raises the attention on the pathophysiological mechanisms potentially involved in post-menopausal ones and outweigh those involved in pre-menopausal women. However, CV disease is one of the leading causes of death in reproductive-age women. Thus, improved awareness, early identification and prompt clinical management of hypertension should be key elements in order to prevent hypertension-related CV morbidity and mortality in pre-menopausal women. However, available data in this specific age group of women are relatively poor and inconsistent, so that the clinical management of young hypertensive women is still debated. The aim of this review is to assess whether there are clear evidences on differences between men and women in epidemiological data, pathophysiological mechanisms, diagnostic options and therapeutic interventions of hypertension and its prognosis, in order to establish the correct approach to this group of hypertensive patients.
