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

Hypertension is the most critical risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Since the definition of hypertension varies across guidelines, identifying blood pressure (BP) categories that should be targeted to prevent CVD is needed. Herein, we investigated the association between BP per the 2019 Japanese Society of Hypertension (JSH) guidelines and the risk of CVD, stroke, and coronary heart disease (CHD) using data from 7,643 participants (30-84 years) registered in the Suita Study. Within 113,838 person-years (16.6 median years of follow-up), 690 participants developed CVD (411 cases of stroke and 279 cases of CHD). Compared to normal BP (Systolic BP (SBP) < 120 and diastolic BP (DBP) < 80 mmHg), elevated BP (SBP 130-139 and/or DBP 80-89 mmHg) and hypertension (SBP ≥ 140 and/or DBP ≥ 90 mmHg) were associated with a higher risk of CVD, stroke, and CHD. High-normal BP (SBP 120-129 and DBP < 80 mmHg) was associated with a higher risk of CVD and CHD. In conclusion, CVD preventive interventions should begin at lower BP levels than those applied in the 2019 JSH guidelines.
