Red meat, poultry, and egg consumption with the risk of hypertension: a meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies.

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 objective of this study was to examine the associations of red meat, poultry, and egg consumption with the risk of hypertension (HTN). The electronic databases of PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase were searched up to August 2017, for prospective cohort studies on the associations between red meat, poultry, or egg consumption with the risk of HTN. The pooled relative risk (RR) of HTN for the highest vs. lowest category of red meat, poultry, and egg consumption as well as their corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated. A total of eight articles made up of 10 prospective cohort studies, which involved 351,819 participants and 5000 HTN cases, were included in this meta-analysis. Specifically, nine studies were related to red meat consumption, and the overall multi-variable adjusted RR showed a positive association between red meat consumption and the risk of HTN (RR = 1.22, 95% CI: 1.11-1.35; P < 0.001). In the subgroup analysis that consisted of five studies, both processed (RR = 1.12, 95% CI: 1.02-1.23; P = 0.02) and unprocessed (RR = 1.19, 95% CI: 1.04-1.36; P = 0.01) red meat were associated with a higher risk of HTN. In addition, in the six studies related to poultry consumption, the overall multi-variable adjusted RR demonstrated that poultry consumption was also associated with a higher risk of HTN (RR = 1.15, 95% CI: 1.03-1.28; P = 0.015). Moreover, three of the studies that were included were related to egg consumption, and the overall multi-variable-adjusted RR showed that egg consumption was associated with a lower risk of HTN (RR = 0.79, 95% CI: 0.68-0.91; P = 0.001). The existing evidence suggested that red meat (both processed and unprocessed) and poultry consumption were associated with a higher risk of HTN, while egg consumption was associated with a lower risk of HTN. Owing to the limited number of studies, more well-designed prospective cohort studies are needed to further elaborate the issues examined in this study.
