Slow on the Draw-ED Management of Elevated BP in Older Adults.
Review in Current hypertension reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purpose of reviewThe purpose of this study is to review data surrounding the emergency department management of elevated blood pressure in older adults, including the management of hypertensive crisis and outpatient management of markedly elevated blood pressure. RECENT
findingsAcute lowering of blood pressure in older adults with markedly elevated blood pressure may lead to serious complications without improvements in hospital length of stay, return visits, or mortality. Older adults presenting with elevated blood pressures without evidence of end-organ damage should be referred for outpatient management of their blood pressure. Treatment of hypertensive emergency should follow standard guidelines with additional considerations for aging physiology. Acute lowering of elevated blood pressure in older adults without evidence of end-organ damage has the potential for harm. If the emergency physician opts to acutely treat, they should consider the increased risk of side effects in older adults and avoid Beers list medications including short-acting nifedipine and clonidine.
