PASCAR commentary on the International Society of Hypertension global guidelines 2020: relevance to sub-Saharan Africa.
Article in Cardiovascular journal of Africa. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Hypertension guidelines have been based on country-specific data until the publication of the International Society of Hypertension (ISH) global guidelines. The major differences between the ISH global guidelines and other international guidelines are the stratified recommendations to accommodate differences in available resources between countries and within countries. This is a key and novel proposal in the new ISH guidelines. There is the separation of optimal versus essential criteria for diagnosis and treatment according to availability of resources. This guideline includes recommendations for sub-Saharan Africa. The Pan-African Society of Cardiology (PASCAR) continues to promote awareness and recommendations on hypertension in Africa. This commentary provides a summary and discussion of the global guidelines in order to clarify the position of PASCAR.
