Unanswered Questions Regarding Blood Pressure Management for HF Prevention.
Review in Current hypertension reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purpose of reviewEvaluate the relevant new findings regarding hypertension treatment and heart failure prevention published in the past 3 years. RECENT
findingsIn a recent secondary analysis of Systolic Blood Pressure Intervention Trial (SPRINT), randomization of more than 9000 patients > 50 years old with high cardiovascular risk but without diabetes to intensive treatment targeting blood pressure < 120/80 mmHg compared to standard treatment targeting < 140/90 mmHg significantly reduced incident heart failure. While such benefits outweighed potential harm, adverse events including renal dysfunction, hypotension, and syncope occurred more frequently with intensive treatment. Following SPRINT, existing guidelines differ in their recommendations and controversies still exist. Key persistent questions include the role of intensive treatment in younger adults and those at lower cardiovascular risk and optimal approaches to translate clinical trial findings into clinical practice in a sustainable fashion. Aggressively treating hypertension to targets below 120/80 mmHg prevents heart failure in high-risk patients. However, evidence is lacking to younger patients and those at lower cardiovascular risk.
