Impact of Frailty on the Relationship between Blood Pressure and Cardiovascular Diseases and Mortality in Young-Old Adults.
Article in Journal of personalized medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
The optimal blood pressure (BP) target in older people according to frailty status remains uncertain. This article investigates how frailty affects the association between BP and cardiovascular diseases or mortality, specifically in young-old adults. A retrospective cohort was created for 708,964 older adults with a uniform age of 66 years. The association between BP and myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, or mortality was analyzed using Cox proportional hazards models. The Timed Up and Go test (TUG) was used as a measure of physical frailty. Mean follow-up was 6.8 years, detecting 38,963 (5.5%) events. There was a linear association between increasing systolic BP (SBP) or diastolic BP (DBP) and increased risk of incident MI and stroke, compared to the reference BP (SBP, 110−119 mmHg or DBP, 80−89 mmHg). The risk patterns with high BP remained similar in each TUG group (<10, 10−14, or ≥15 s). A similar pattern of increased risks was found in those who took antihypertensive drugs and who did not, however they were more pronounced in those who did not. The findings support the need to achieve the same BP target in young-old adults with or without frailty to lower the risk of MI, stroke, and mortality.
