Blood pressure levels and control in Italy: comprehensive analysis of clinical data from 2000-2005 and 2005-2011 hypertension surveys.
Review in Journal of human hypertension, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 28 papers.
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
This analysis is aimed to determine blood pressure (BP) levels and BP control rates in a large population of hypertensive patients in Italy. Data were taken from two large and inclusive cross-sectional surveys, which covered two distinct and subsequent time periods (2000-2005 and 2005-2011, respectively). Observational clinical studies and surveys, which reported average systolic/diastolic clinic BP levels, proportions of treated/untreated and controlled/uncontrolled patients, and prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors in hypertensive patients followed in either outpatient clinics, hypertension centres or general practice, were considered for the analyses. The overall sample included 211 591 hypertensive patients (119 997 (56.7%) women, age 57.0±10.0 years, body mass index 26.9±4.0 kg m(-2), BP levels 146.9±16.7/88.7±9.6 mm Hg). BP levels were 148.2±15.4/87.5±9.3 mm Hg in patients followed by general practitioners (n=168 313, 79.5%), 148.1±17.3/90.1±9.7 mm Hg in those followed by hypertension centres (n=28 180, 13.3%), and 142.4±17.6/86.6±9.8 mm Hg in those followed by outpatient clinics and hospital divisions (n=15 098, 7.1%). Among treated hypertensive patients (n=128 079; 60.5%), 43 008 (33.6%) were reported to have controlled BP levels. Over one decade of observation, we reported that ~60% of hypertensive patients were treated and among these only 33% achieved effective BP control. These findings highlight the need for more effective interventions to improve management of hypertension in Italy.
