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

purpose of reviewHypertension is one of the most common conditions encountered in the primary care setting, affecting 32-46% of people. While essential or primary hypertension is the most common form of the disease, secondary hypertension is quite prevalent, occurring in 10-20% of patients with hypertension. Accurately diagnosing secondary hypertension is a challenging and often time-consuming process that requires considerable expertise and effort. However, once the secondary etiology is identified, the patient benefits profoundly from a potentially curative treatment that may lead to significant improvements in quality of life, morbidity, and mortality. RECENT

findingsCommon causes of secondary hypertension include medication-induced hypertension, renal parenchymal disease, renovascular hypertension, obstructive sleep apnea, and primary aldosteronism. Other rarer forms include mineralocorticoid-driven hypertension or its mimics, as well as hypercortisolism and pheochromocytoma. Although complex, standard protocols have emerged for investigation, diagnosis, and treatment of these conditions. The current review aims to elucidate the many causes of secondary hypertension and describe their respective prevalence, clinical presentation, screening, diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up. By demystifying secondary hypertension, it is hoped that this disease will be more easily identified and treated so that the associated cardiovascular morbidity and end-organ damage may be mitigated.
