Review in Clinical research in cardiology : official journal of the German Cardiac Society, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

backgroundThis article summarizes the emerging field of hypertension over the last decades. It covers paradigm shifts on hypertension from an undefined cardiovascular condition to the most relevant cardiovascular modifiable risk factor and the developments of drug treatments and interventional treatments to improve cardiovascular outcomes.

methodsWe performed a selective literature research in PubMed on trials published in the past until 2018 without time restrictions and covered unpublished trials disclosed in ClinicalTrials.org.

resultsThe development of treatments of hypertension is a success story covering many decades from the early attempts with drug treatments, development of tolerable and effective medications to interventional techniques involving renal denervation, AV fistulas, and autonomic devices. Novel guidelines define new definitions and treatment targets of hypertension, which are a matter of ongoing discussion.

conclusionDespite the development of tolerable and effective drugs, new treatments in the field of neuroendocrine modulation by drugs and devices are still under development trying to further improve treatment of patients with hypertension and to further reduce cardiovascular events in those individuals.
