Contemporary Drug Treatment of Hypertension: Focus on Recent Guidelines.
Review in Drugs, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
The 2017 American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association hypertension guidelines diagnose hypertension if systolic blood pressure (SBP) is ≥ 130 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure (DBP) is ≥ 80 mmHg. Increased BP is SBP 120-129 mmHg with DBP < 80 mmHg. Lifestyle measures should be used to treat individuals with increased BP. Lifestyle measures plus BP-lowering drugs should be used for secondary prevention of recurrent cardiovascular events in individuals with clinical cardiovascular disease (coronary heart disease, congestive heart failure, or stroke) and an average SBP ≥ 130 mmHg or an average DBP ≥ 80 mmHg. Lifestyle measures plus BP-lowering drugs should be used for primary prevention of cardiovascular disease in individuals with an estimated 10-year risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) ≥ 10% and an average SBP ≥ 130 mmHg or an average DBP ≥ 80 mmHg. Lifestyle measures plus BP-lowering drugs should be used for primary prevention of cardiovascular disease in individuals with an estimated 10-year risk of ASCVD < 10% and an average SBP ≥ 140 mmHg or an average DBP ≥ 90 mmHg. White coat hypertension must be excluded before starting antihypertensive drug treatment in individuals with hypertension with a low risk for ASCVD. BP should be lowered to < 130/80 mmHg in patients with coronary heart disease, heart failure, or chronic kidney disease; after renal transplantation; for secondary stroke prevention; in lacunar stroke, peripheral arterial disease, and diabetes mellitus; and in ambulatory community-dwelling adults aged > 65 years. The selection of antihypertensive drug treatment is discussed.
