Blood Pressure and Statin Effects on Cognition: a Review.
Review in Current hypertension reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
purpose of reviewThis is a review of available data on the effects of blood pressure and statins on cognition. RECENT
findingsRecent randomized clinical trials have shown that intensive control of systolic blood pressure in older adults prevented the development of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and the combined effects of MCI and probable dementia. Previous randomized clinical trials have suggested that statin use may prevent a decline in cognition; however, no randomized clinical trials have clearly shown evidence of statin's either positive or negative effect on cognition. Continued follow-up of SPRINT-MIND participants is crucial to evaluate the long-term effects of intensive systolic blood pressure control on the prevention of cognitive decline. A well-conducted and adequately powered randomized control trial is needed to evaluate the effect of statins on cognition, especially for primary prevention of the cognitive decline in aging.
