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

High blood pressure is the most common cardiovascular disease and the first one due to mortality risk. Prospective studies showed that, until 2025, the number of individuals with HBP will increase up to 1.56 billion in adults, of which more than two thirds will be found in poor countries or developing ones. In the present study, we evaluated the clinical and epidemiological aspects of HBP in a group of 3050 patients admitted in the Department of Cardiology of the Public Hospital of Caracal, Olt county. The study on the distribution of patients according to sex allowed us to observe that most patients suffering from HBP were women, while the distribution according to the social environment showed that more than 2/3 of high blood pressure patients came from the rural area. By studying the distribution of patients according to age, we observed that most HBP patients were aged over 60 years old (86.49%).
