Deprescribing Hypertension Medication in Older Adults: Can It Lower Drug Burden Without Causing Harm?
Review in Clinics in geriatric medicine, 2024. 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
Due to the high prevalence of older individuals with multiple morbidities, polypharmacy, and exposed to unnecessary or inappropriate treatments that can cause potentially serious adverse effects, better medication management should be an objective of all health professionals. This is particularly important in older patients with hypertension. Antihypertensive deprescribing and non-pharmacological strategies have been disseminated as viable and safe alternatives for improving the quality of care for hypertension in the older population.
