Management of the hypertensive patient who smokes.
Review in Drugs, 1998. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Smoking and arterial hypertension are highly prevalent at the community level. While the coexistence of both risk factors is less frequent, the potentiation of cardiovascular risk when both are present makes the association highly relevant in terms of a preventive approach. There are many interrelationships between smoking and high blood pressure at the clinical, epidemiological and pathophysiological levels. Those demonstrable links compel us to review the usual explanation of the influence of smoking on blood pressure. Pharmacological treatment of the hypertensive patient who smokes must be adapted to the patient's risk profile, using the most efficacious antihypertensive agents. With the exception of nonselective beta-blockers, all the available antihypertensive drugs can be prescribed. Minimal intervention and nicotine replacement constitute the most well tested interventions in helping smokers to quit their habit. Nicotine replacement is currently a well tolerated intervention, even in patients with cardiovascular disease.
