Management of hypertension in the very old: aggressive reduction of blood pressure is harmful in most patients.
Review in Journal of human hypertension, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Arterial hypertension is particularly prevalent in the elderly and treatment is required according to the literature. Treatment in subjects between 65 and 80 years of age resembles by characteristics and results that obtained in younger population. The treatment of arterial hypertension in the very elderly differs in a relevant percentage of them. It is quite similar in those with a good physical fitness with or without cardiovascular disease. A series of factors as the presence of real sustained hypertension, orthostatic hypotension, frailty and disability, and the boundary of safety recommended by international recent guidelines analysed here are relevant to characterize a clearly elevated risk of complications in the remaining very elderly patients.
