Revealing Sex Differences in Hypertensive Urgency Management: Insights From a Tertiary Hospital.
Observational study in Journal of clinical hypertension (Greenwich, Conn.), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Sex differences in hypertensive urgencies (HUs) remain poorly characterized in emergency department (ED) settings. We conducted a retrospective observational study of adult ED visits for hypertensive urgency at a tertiary hospital in Spain between 2018 and 2022, excluding hypertensive emergencies. Sex differences in ED-based incidence, clinical presentation, blood pressure (BP) trajectories, acute management, and ED outcomes were assessed using multivariable regression models with correction for multiple testing. Among 2769 patients with HUs, women accounted for most cases and had a higher ED-based incidence than men. Women were older and more frequently reported headache or dizziness, whereas men more often presented with dyspnea or chest pain. Systolic BP trajectories during ED stay were similar between sexes, while diastolic BP remained higher in women. No clinically relevant sex differences were observed in acute pharmacological management after multiple-testing correction. Marked BP reductions frequently occurred during ED stay without pharmacologic intervention and were comparable between sexes. Overall, hypertensive urgencies showed relevant sex differences in incidence and clinical presentation, while blood pressure often declined even in the absence of acute pharmacological treatment, with limited differences in acute management or short-term BP response between women and men.
