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

<p>Introduction: Time in target range of systolic blood pressure (SBP-TTR) is the percentage of time that the SBP remains within 110-130 mm Hg. The association between the SBP-TTR and clinical outcomes in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) remains unclear. We evaluated the risks of cardiovascular disease (CVD), all-cause mortality, and renal events across the SBP-TTR groups.

methodsOverall, 193,289 patients with CKD who underwent at least two health checkups between 2012 and 2015 were selected from the Korean National Health Insurance Database. The patients were categorized into three categories based on their SBP-TTR levels: 76-100%, 26-75%, and 0-25%. The primary outcome was CVD risk and the secondary outcomes were all-cause mortality and progression to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) according to SBP-TTR using Cox regression analysis.

resultsCompared with patients with SBP-TTR of 76-100%, the adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) for CVD were 1.07 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.03-1.10) and 1.09 (95% CI: 1.06-1.13) for patients with SBP-TTR of 26-75%, and 0-25%, respectively. The adjusted HR for all-cause mortality was 1.04 (95% CI: 1.003-1.07) and 1.37 (95% CI: 1.28-1.46) for patients with SBP-TTR of 26-75% and 0-25%, respectively. The adjusted HRs for ESKD progression increased gradually: 1.14-fold (95% CI: 1.07-1.21) for the SBP-TTR 26-75% group and 1.37-fold (95% CI: 1.28-1.46) for the SBP-TTR 0-25% group. For patients not taking antihypertensive medications, a lower SBP-TTR was associated with a higher risk of CVD events and ESKD progression than in those taking antihypertensive medications.

conclusionAmong patients with CKD, those with a lower SBP-TTR had a higher risk of cardiovascular events, mortality, and progression to ESKD. </p>.
