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

The Systolic Blood Pressure Intervention Trial (SPRINT), a large randomized controlled trial funded by the National Institutes of Health, randomized 9361 patients with hypertension over 50 years of age and at least one cardiovascular risk factor to intensive (SBP < 120 mm Hg) or standard (SBP < 140 mm Hg) blood pressure treatment. The trial found a significant reduction in primary cardiovascular and mortality outcomes in the intensive treatment group. We performed an IRB-approved post hoc analysis of the SPRINT trial data, recently made available through the NEJM SPRINT Data Analysis Challenge. Our subgroup analysis stratified subjects by age (≥75 years vs. <75 years) and presence or absence of pre-existing chronic kidney disease (CKD) or cardiovascular disease (CVD). We found that intensive blood pressure control was associated with a significantly lower rate of the primary CVD outcome and all-cause mortality in subjects age <75 years with no prior CVD or CKD and in subjects age ≥75 years with pre-existing CVD or CKD.
