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

introductionResistant hypertension (RH) is characterized by the failure to reach a goal blood pressure despite the administration of three medications at maximally tolerated doses, one of which being a diuretic. RH can be observed in a variety of clinical conditions, such as heart failure and reduced renal function and may confer high cardiovascular risk.

aimTo evaluate the prevalence of RH and its association with clinical outcomes; the primary outcome was in-hospital mortality and the composite outcome was all-cause of mortality and morbidity in a cohort of patients with cardiorenal multimorbidity hospitalized in an internal medicine ward.

methodsWe conducted a retrospective analysis of consecutive hypertensive patients with cardiorenal multimorbidity. The composite outcome incorporated all-cause of in-hospital mortality and occurrence of sepsis, pulmonary embolism, acute coronary syndrome, stroke and renal replacement therapy.

resultsWe collected data in 141 inpatients with a mean age of 77 years ± 10 (males 65.9 %), estimated glomerular filtration rate of 34 ± 18.6 ml/min with length of stay of 17 ± 12 days. The prevalence of RH was 52.4%. In-hospital mortality was observed in 24 patients (17%) and the composite outcome occurred in 87 patients (61.7%) and among these 74 (85.1%) were patients with RH. Free survival for composite outcome was significantly higher in patients without RH than patients with RH (log rank 7.52, p = 0.006). Resistant hypertension was a risk factor for composite outcome [HR 1.857(C.I. 1.170-2.946, p = 0.009)].

conclusionIn patients with cardiorenal multimorbidity there is a high proportion of RH that represents a risk factor for composite outcome but not for in-hospital mortality.
