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

In the last years, many hypertension guidelines have been published as new or revised versions. They follow the general trend that only clinical evidence is relevant for guidelines. Expert opinion is downplayed. At present, guidelines from three major organizations have been produced: by the European Society of Hypertension, the International Society/American Society of Hypertension, and the US Joint National Committee. We discuss eight versions of these guidelines in this review. All of these include statements on blood pressure goals or treatment algorithms for patients with high blood pressure. The variability of practical tips is great, and the recommendations, which mainly rely on evidence-based medical information, show slight differences that have resulted in some confusion with specialists and also practitioners. In the current review, the changes in the guidelines in comparison to previous guidelines are discussed, and reasons for different recommendations are explained. The hope is to reduce confusion.
