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

A family history (FH) of hypertension is associated with an increased risk of new-onset hypertension. However, the risk of FH estimated in normotensives using conventional methods may have been somewhat underestimated by excluding early-onset cases, who are highly likely to have FH of hypertension. This large-scale longitudinal study on a middle-aged population (mean age: 46.8 years) revealed that the hazard ratio of FH of hypertension for the development of hypertension was higher when calculated for the entire study population (N = 34,792), including hypertensives at baseline by treating them as left-censored cases, using an interval-censored Cox proportional hazards model (1.73, 95% confidence interval: 1.67-1.79, P < 0.001) than that calculated in normotensives (n = 28,271) using a conventional Cox model (1.35, 95% confidence interval: 1.28-1.44, P < 0.001). The effect of changes in the possible confounders during the follow-up period was negligible. Thus, the risk of FH of hypertension for the development of hypertension may be higher than previously reported.
