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

aimsArterial hypertension is an important cardiovascular risk factor. A substantial proportion of patients show resistance to antihypertensive treatment but poor adherence to medication regimens is also a significant cause of treatment failure. In this context, therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) could be useful. The objective of this study was to assess adherence to treatment in patients with resistant hypertension by TDM and to identify parameters that predict nonadherence.

methodsLiquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry was used to quantify a wide panel of antihypertensive drugs in human plasma to assess treatment compliance. Associations between TDM-determined adherence profiles, self-reported adherence and other patient-related clinical, anthropometric or demographic features were evaluated as potentially useful pre-TDM predictors of poor adherence.

resultsTDM was performed on 50 patients with suspected resistant hypertension: 24% of patients partially complied to treatment and 18% were nonadherent. No concordance was observed with questionnaire results, while nonadherence was associated with high diastolic blood pressure, high heart rate, previous onset of stroke and previous use of invasive treatments, including renal denervation or baroreceptor stimulation.

conclusionsThis evidence highlights the high prevalence of poor adherence in patients with resistant hypertension and the need for caution in using invasive approaches. These preliminary data require validation in a larger cohort, to confirm the need for TDM in routine clinical practice.
