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

Background: Females develop hypertension later and are less likely to receive chronic kidney disease (CKD) prevention treatments. The long-term impact of these differences remains unclear. We aimed to investigate sex-based differences in the in CKD outcomes among older adults with hypertension. Methods: We conducted a population-based retrospective cohort study of adults aged ≥66 years with new hypertension using linked health data from Ontario, Canada (1 January 2010, to 31 December 2021). The primary composite outcome was a 40% decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) or kidney failure. We used Cox proportional hazards models to calculate hazard ratios (HRs) and Fine-Gray models accounting for death as a competing risk (subdistribution HRs, sHRs). Results: Incident hypertension developed in 121 490 individuals (57.7% female; mean age 73.1 years; mean eGFR 83.2 mL/min/1.73 m²; median follow-up 6.8 years), 17 343 (14.3%) experienced the composite kidney outcome. The crude incidence rate per 1000 person-years was higher for females compared with males (22.0 in females vs 21.1 in males; Conclusion: Older females with new onset hypertension were more likely to develop a 40% decline in eGFR or kidney failure compared with older males. This study will inform hypertension management practices in aging populations.
