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

Both aging and high blood pressure (BP) are associated with a risk of left ventricular concentricity and hypertrophy. We hypothesized that optimal BP management improves left ventricular remodeling beyond aging. Among 558 hypertensive patients on continuous antihypertensive treatment and without concurrent heart disease who were referred to a cardiology clinic with echocardiography and ambulatory BP monitoring data, 142 patients' echocardiographic data was available after 10 years. Baseline BP and changes in left ventricular geometry were evaluated. Mean age at baseline was 71.0 years old. Baseline daytime BP was 129.9/72.4 ± 17.1/10.2 mmHg and nighttime BP was 122.5/67.1 ± 16.9/9.1 mmHg. After 10 years, left ventricular mass index (LVMI) and relative wall thickness (RWT) significantly decreased from 104.5 ± 26.3 to 97.9 ± 26.4 g/m
