Sex differences in adherence to antihypertensive treatment in patients aged above 55: The French League Against Hypertension Survey (FLAHS).
Article in Journal of clinical hypertension (Greenwich, Conn.), 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Despite the availability of efficient therapies to reduce the risk of cardiovascular complications, poor adherence to antihypertensive (anti-HTN) drugs is frequent, especially during the first year of treatment and among uncontrolled/resistant hypertensive patients. The aim of the study was to identify factors associated with adherence to anti-HTN treatment and to examine whether they differ across sex. A total of 2743 treated hypertensive participants to the cross-sectional Metascope survey (France, 2015) aged 55 years or more were included. The authors measured adherence to anti-HTN treatment using the 6-item Girerd compliance test. Variations in adherence were examined using the Rao-Scott statistics and Poisson regression. Overall, 63.6% of participants were adherent to anti-HTN treatment. Adherence was more frequent among women than men (69% vs 58%, P < 10
