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

backgroundThis systematic review aims to determine the impact of isolated diastolic hypertension (IDH) on cardiovascular outcomes.

methodsWe searched only English language articles on PubMed and SCOPUS until July 31, 2023 to investigate the association between IDH and cardiovascular outcomes.

resultsThis meta-analysis of 19 studies evaluated the impact of different hypertension diagnostic guidelines (ACC/AHA: American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology; JNC7: Joint National Committee on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Pressure; NICE/ESC: National Institute for Health and Care Excellence/European Society of Cardiology) on hypertension-related outcomes. Studies had varying sample sizes (173 to 2,969,679 participants) and study designs. In cohort studies using JNC7 guidelines, IDH was linked to increased cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk (HR: 1.45, 95% CI 1.17, 1.74), CVD mortality (HR: 1.54, 95% CI 1.23, 1.84), and coronary heart disease (CHD) risk (HR: 1.65). In studies using ACC/AHA guidelines, associations with CVD risk and CVD mortality were weaker [HR: 1.16 (95% CI 1.06, 1.25) and 1.10 (95% CI 0.95, 1.25), respectively]. Subgroup analysis revealed differences in outcomes on the basis of age and sex. Cross-sectional studies did not show significant associations with JNC7 and ACC guidelines; NICE guidelines were not used in cross-sectional studies.

conclusionIDH is associated with an increased risk of CVD. Higher diastolic blood pressure cutoffs were associated with higher cardiovascular risk. This association varied by study design and effect modification by sex and race influenced the association.
