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

Background and Aim: The benefit of controlling cardiovascular risk factors in slowing the progression of small abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is controversial. This study investigated the association of optimal blood pressure control at entry with the growth of small AAA. Methods and Results: A total of 1,293 patients with initial AAA diameter <50 mm were followed by a median 5 (inter-quartile range, IQR, 3-7) ultrasound scans for a median of 3.6 years (IQR 1.8, 5.3). Optimal blood pressure control was defined as blood pressure ≤140/90 mmHg at recruitment. The association of optimal blood pressure control at entry with AAA growth was assessed using linear mixed effects models adjusted for established risk factors of AAA growth and factors which were unequally distributed among the blood pressure groups. Optimal blood pressure control at entry was not significantly associated with AAA growth. In the risk factor adjusted model the mean difference in AAA growth between blood pressure groups was 0.04 mm/year (95% CI -0.20, 0.13; Conclusions: This observational study suggests that optimal blood pressure control at entry is not associated with slower AAA growth.
