Blood pressure predictors of stroke in rural Chinese dwellers with hypertension: a large-scale prospective cohort study.
Article in BMC cardiovascular disorders, 2019. 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.
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
backgroundLittle was known about the different predictive power of blood pressure (BP) parameters (SBP, systolic BP; mean arterial pressure, MAP; pulse pressure, PP; and diastolic BP, DBP) and stroke incidence. This study's aim was to compare power of BP parameters predict stroke events among rural dwelling Chinese individuals with hypertension.
methodA total of 5097 hypertension patients (56.2% women; mean age, 56.3 ± 11.2 years) were included in the prospective cohort study with a median follow-up of 8.4 years.
resultsUntil the end of the last follow-up, there were 501 onset strokes (310 ischemic, 186 hemorrhagic, and 5 unclassified strokes) among the 5097 participants. The results showed that hazard ratio (HR) (95% confidence interval, 95% CI) with an increment of 5 mmHg were 1.095 (1.070-1.121) for PP, 1.173 (1.139-1.208) for MAP, 1.109(1.089-1.130) for SBP, 1.143(1.104-1.185) for DBP. The SBP indicated the largest β coefficient in the Cox proportional hazard model for all stroke except PP or MAP, and the SBP revealed slightly higher value than MAP (β
conclusionsBoth PP and MAP were predictive factors for stroke. The MAP showed a stronger ability to predict stroke events than PP, and slightly inferior to SBP for hypertension patients.
