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

Treating hypertension reduces morbidity and mortality. Unfortunately, hypertension often exists in patients with other medical conditions. In these patients, the selection of an antihypertensive agent is often influenced by the presence of the coexisting condition. Conversely, the treatment of the coexisting medical condition may be influenced by the presence of hypertension. Given the vast array of antihypertensive medications available today, appropriate treatment of both hypertension and coexisting conditions can be achieved with careful selection of medications. This review discusses factors to consider when treating elderly patients with hypertension with the following coexisting conditions: dyslipidaemia, glucose intolerance, sexual dysfunction, cardiovascular disease, pulmonary disease, renal disease and neuropsychiatric disorders. Hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism and various states of high cardiac output may cause hypertension. These conditions should be identified, since they are often treatable with subsequent resolution of the hypertension.
