Effects of blood pressure goals on cardiovascular outcomes in hypertensive patients.
Article in Archives of medical science : AMS, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
introductionThe aim of the study was to evaluate the effects of blood pressure (BP) goals on cardiovascular outcomes in hypertensive patients. MATERIAL AND
methodsPrimary hypertensive patients were retrospectively enrolled from outpatient clinics. The demographics, comorbidities, laboratory parameters and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) were collected. All participants were followed for 1 year. Cardiovascular outcomes included composite of all-cause mortality, non-fatal myocardial infarction, and non-fatal ischemic stroke/transient ischemic attack. Adverse event was defined as falling down and GFR decrease at follow-up.
resultsA total of 1226 patients were included. Based on therapeutic BP goals, participants were divided into low (< 130/80 mm Hg) and high (< 140/90 mm Hg) therapeutic goal groups and an uncontrolled hypertension (≥ 140/90 mm Hg) group. Compared to the low therapeutic goal group, patients in the uncontrolled group were older and more likely to be smokers, have longer duration of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, lower GFR and higher prevalent ischemic stroke (
conclusionsIn hypertension patients, when compared to uncontrolled hypertension patients, low therapeutic BP goal is associated with better cardiovascular outcomes than high therapeutic BP goal.
