Factors associated with the frequency of antihypertensive drug adjustments in chronic kidney disease patients: a multicentre, 2-year retrospective study.
Article in International journal of clinical pharmacy, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Background Optimum antihypertensive drug effect in chronic kidney disease is important to mitigate disease progression. As frequent adjustments to antihypertensive drugs might lead to problems that may affect their effectiveness, the modifiable factors leading to frequent adjustments of antihypertensive drugs should be identified and addressed. Objective This study aims to identify the factors associated with frequent adjustments to antihypertensive drugs among chronic kidney disease patients receiving routine nephrology care. Setting Nephrology clinics at two Malaysian tertiary hospitals. Method This multi-centre, retrospective cohort study included adult patients under chronic kidney disease clinic follow-up. Demographic data, clinical information, laboratory data and medication characteristics from 2018 to 2020 were collected. Multiple logistic regression was used to identify the factors associated with frequent adjustments to antihypertensive drugs (≥ 1 per year). Main outcome measure Frequent adjustments to antihypertensive drugs. Results From 671 patients included in the study, 219 (32.6%) had frequent adjustments to antihypertensive drugs. Frequent adjustment to antihypertensive drugs was more likely to occur with follow-ups in multiple institutions (adjusted Odds Ratio [aOR] 1.244, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.012, 1.530), use of traditional/complementary medicine (aOR 2.058, 95% CI 1.058, 4.001), poor medication adherence (aOR 1.563, 95% CI 1.037, 2.357), change in estimated glomerular filtration rate (aOR 0.970, 95% CI 0.951, 0.990), and albuminuria categories A2 (aOR 2.173, 95% CI 1.311, 3.603) and A3 (aOR 2.117, 95% CI 1.349, 3.322), after controlling for confounding factors. Conclusion This work highlights the importance of close monitoring of patients requiring initial adjustments to antihypertensive drugs. Antihypertensive drug adjustments may indicate events that could contribute to poorer outcomes in the future.
