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

Although hypertension is a known risk factor for intracranial aneurysm rupture, the benefit of the management of blood pressure in reducing the rupture risk of intracranial aneurysms remains largely unknown, especially for regular blood pressure monitoring. We conducted a retrospective analysis of a prospectively maintained database of 3965 patients with saccular intracranial aneurysms from 20 medical centers in China. The patients were divided into the non-hypertensive group and hypertensive group. Propensity score matching was applied to identify a cohort of patients with similar baseline characteristics. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to determine the association between intracranial aneurysm rupture and the management of blood pressure. After matching, hypertension was significantly associated with an increased rupture risk of intracranial aneurysms (OR = 2.559, 95%CI = 2.161-3.030, P = 0.000). For the management of blood pressure, controlled hypertension (OR = 1.803, 95%CI = 1.409-2.307, P = 0.000), uncontrolled hypertension (OR = 2.178, 95%CI = 1.756-2.700, P = 0.000), and hypertension without regular blood pressure monitoring (OR = 5.000, 95%CI = 3.823-6.540, P = 0.000) were all significantly associated with a higher rupture risk compared with the absence of hypertension. Moreover, hypertension without regular blood pressure monitoring was associated with a higher rupture risk compared with either controlled hypertension (OR = 3.807, 95%CI = 2.687-5.395, P = 0.000) or hypertension with regular blood pressure monitoring (including controlled and uncontrolled hypertension) (OR = 2.893, 95%CI = 2.319-3.609, P = 0.000). The absence of regular blood pressure monitoring was significantly associated with an increased risk of intracranial aneurysm rupture, emphasizing the importance of implementation of regular blood pressure monitoring in hypertensive patients with intracranial aneurysms.
