Association between single-pill combination therapy use and blood pressure control in the Systolic Blood Pressure Reduction Intervention Trial: a post hoc analysis.
Trial report in European journal of preventive cardiology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
aimsBlood pressure (BP) control remains suboptimal among US patients with hypertension. Single-pill combination (SPC) therapies are commonly used to improve adherence; however, their effectiveness for achieving early and sustained intensive BP control is unclear. METHODS AND
resultsWe performed a post hoc analysis of Systolic Blood Pressure Intervention Trial (SPRINT) including 2736 participants propensity matched in a 1:2 ratio to compare effects of SPCs with equivalent multi-pill therapy. The estimated marginal odds of achieving target BP control were derived using generalized linear mixed models with repeated measures (LMMRMs). The association between time-updated SPC use and BP change in short- (≤6 months) and long-term (>6 months) follow-up was assessed with LMMRM and SPC * time interaction term. Multivariable Cox models evaluated the association of SPC use with cardiovascular events and serious adverse events (SAEs). Among SPRINT participants (n = 8623), 9.3% (n = 803) were prescribed SPC at baseline with greater use in the intensive vs. usual care group (5.79 vs. 3.90 per 100 person-months; P-diff < 0.001). Among matched pairs [SPC (n = 912); multi-pill therapy (n = 1824)], SPC use was associated with 22% increased likelihood of achieving target BP by 6 months [odds ratio (95% confidence interval), 1.22 (1.05, 1.42)]. Participants receiving SPCs (vs. multi-pills) experienced more rapid BP reduction in the first 6 months (-2.0 vs. -1.2 mmHg monthly change; P-diff < 0.001). Over long-term follow-up, participants using SPCs achieved significantly lower SBP at each time point. The risk of the primary CV composite endpoint and SAEs were not significantly different between groups.
conclusionSingle-pill combination use resulted in greater likelihood of achieving target BP control and more rapid, sustained BP reduction without an increase in SAEs.
