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

purpose of reviewThis review is intended to briefly describe the primary mechanistic pathways by which several common drugs can increase blood pressure. We also propose potential management strategies based on the underlying mechanisms responsible for the blood pressure elevation. RECENT

findingsAs hypertension is a significant risk factor for cardiovascular events, healthcare providers must evaluate patients' concomitant medications that may contribute to elevations in blood pressure. The presence of these medications, if not properly addressed, can lead to consequences such as an inadvertent diagnosis of hypertension, as well as the potential need for unnecessary intensification of antihypertensive regimens in those already treated. Blood pressure elevation is an unfortunate by-product of multiple medications. The substances discussed in this review can elicit significant and persistent elevations in blood pressure, and health care providers must first evaluate whether the drug is necessary. If one exists, it is best to select a similar agent with lower risk of increasing blood pressure; if unavoidable, then clinicians should select an appropriate management strategy to compensate for the rise in blood pressure.
