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.

Abstract

Background: Up to three-quarters of primary hypertension is epidemiologically attributed to excess adiposity. Incretin-based therapies are consistently associated with reduced blood pressure (BP) in clinical trials; however, no prior trial has investigated incretin-based therapies for hypertension treatment with BP as its primary efficacy outcome. Methods: ATTAIN-HYPERTENSION is a phase 3 master protocol directing two identical, randomized, placebo-controlled studies. Participants with BMI≥25kg/m Results: ATTAIN-HYPERTENSION randomized 538 participants in Trial 1 and 546 in Trial 2 between April 2025 and January 2026 at 100 locations across 10 countries. The randomized population has a mean (SD) age of 53.7 (11.8) years, BMI of 35.6kg/m² (6.9), and office SBP of 144.2 mmHg (10.3). At screening, 55.4% of participants were treated with antihypertensive medication. Conclusion: ATTAIN-HYPERTENSION investigates the efficacy and safety of orforglipron for the treatment of hypertension in adults with overweight or obesity. Described here are the novel trial design, its rationale, and the enrolled population's baseline characteristics. (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT06948422).
