The influence of hypertension management on frailty prevention among older persons aged 65 and over: a systematic review.
Synthesis in Aging clinical and experimental research, 2022. 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
backgroundFrailty and hypertension are interrelated, but it remains unclear whether this relationship is modified by antihypertensive drugs. METHODS AND
resultsA systematic review of PubMed and Web of Science databases was performed to review the influence of hypertension management on preventing the occurrence or progression of frailty in older people aged 65 and over. Studies providing information on this association regardless of the study setting, or definition of hypertension and frailty were included. Among the initial 2298 articles identified, 7 were included in the review. Three observational studies assessed the association between frailty and hypertension. Two of them reported no relationship between Aldosterone Antagonists use and frailty prevention. No relationship between BP and incidence frailty after adjustment for hypertension treatment was observed in two other articles. An indirect relationship was reported in the RCTs included. Higher AT11RaAb levels (control group), can lead to a generalized weakness/frailty risk shown by a decrease in grip strength (r = -0.57, p < 0.005) and walking speed (r = - 0.47, p < 0.005). No significant differences between int-hypertensive intervention and control were observed in frailty status after a 12-weeks follow-up after applying three different frailty measurement tools in the other RCT.
conclusionsBased on the results of this systematic review we conclude that BP and frailty occur together but whether the treatment with anti-hypertensive drugs modifies this relationship remains unclear and needs to be further investigated.
