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

backgroundThe optimal blood pressure (BP) level for diabetic patients remains controversial, while studies provided limited evidence on BP management for individuals with normoglycemia or prediabetes. We aimed to investigate the associations between systolic blood pressure (SBP) and all-cause and cardiovascular (CVD) mortality among US adults with different glycemic profiles.

methodsWe used data from the 1999-2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES, n=40,046) with comprehensive baseline examination and follow-up assessment. Restricted cubic spline analysis was performed to examine dose-response relationship between SBP and mortality risk. Cox regression models were used to estimate hazard ratios of all-cause mortality and CVD mortality for SBP categories.

resultsU-shaped associations between SBP and all-cause mortality were observed regardless of glucose status. The relationship between SBP and CVD mortality was found to be U-shaped only in normoglycemic participants. The lowest mortality risk of optimal SBP (mmHg) by group was 115-120 (normoglycemia), 120-130 (prediabetes), and 125-135 (diabetes). When compared with the reference group, SBP < 100 mmHg was significantly associated with 49% (HR=1.49, 95% CI: 1.13-1.96), 57% (1.57, 1.07-2.3), and 59% (1.59, 1.12-2.25) higher all-cause mortality risk in people with normoglycemia, prediabetes, and diabetes, respectively. The multivariable-adjusted HRs of all-cause mortality for SBP ≥150 mmHg were 1.51 (1.25-1.82), 1.56 (1.27-1.93), and 1.33 (1.08-1.64), respectively. As for CVD mortality, the multivariable-adjusted HRs were 2.85 (1.29-6.33) for SBP <100 mmHg and 2.71 (1.56-4.69) for SBP ≥150 mmHg in normoglycemia; HR was 1.66 (1.05-2.63) for SBP ≥150 mmHg in diabetic patients.

conclusionU-shaped relationships between SBP and all-cause mortality were observed regardless of diabetes status. The optimal SBP range was gradually higher with worsening glucose status.
