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

Introduction: Hypertensive emergencies are defined as hypertensive crisis with signs of visceral distress. They are relatively common and require urgent, but not necessarily normotensive, antihypertensive therapy. The aim of this study was to describe the epidemiology of hypertensive emergencies.. Patients and methods: This was a descriptive cross-sectional study conducted from March 5, 2017, to December 31, 2023, at the cardiology department of the Bogodogo University Hospital (CHU-B), Burkina Faso. All patients admitted to the department for hypertensive emergencies were included in the study. Epidemiologic, sociodemographic, clinical, paraclinical, therapeutic, and evolutionary characteristics were evaluated in a descriptive analysis. Results: Among 2,610 hospitalized patients, 96 cases of hypertensive emergencies were identified, representing a prevalence of 3.6%. Mean age was 50.5 (±10.4) years. Cardiovascular risk factors were hypertension, sedentary lifestyle, diabetes, and smoking in 80.8%, 72.3%, 12.7%, and 9.5% of cases, respectively. Headache was the most common reason for consultation (46.8% of cases), followed by dizziness (19.1%). Ischemic stroke and acute pulmonary edema were observed in 18.7% of cases. Conclusion: Hypertensive emergencies are quite frequent at CHU-B and the majority of patients are relatively young.
