Permanent Pacing Reduces Blood Pressure in Older Patients with Drug-resistant Hypertension: A New Pacing Paradigm?
Article in The Journal of innovations in cardiac rhythm management, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Hypertension (HTN) is a major contributor to cardiovascular mortality. Many patients with drug-resistant hypertension (DRH) also require permanent pacing (PP). This large retrospective study evaluated the effect of PP for conventional PP indications in older patients with DRH. We reviewed the charts of 176 patients with dual-chamber PP and DRH. The effects of PP on systolic and diastolic blood pressure (sBP and dBP), the number of HTN-related medications, and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) were assessed at 6 months post-implantation and compared with pre-implantation values. Patients were followed up with for ≥72 months. Patients with a decline of >5 mmHg in sBP and decrease in at least one anti-HTN medication were defined as responders (126/176;
