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

Maintaining ideal body weight and muscle strength through lifestyle modification is essential for improving activities of daily living (ADL) and life expectancy in hypertensive patients. The effect of weight reduction in older patients with hypertension, however, is controversial. We evaluated the prognostic significance of body mass index (BMI) and handgrip strength (HG) in older patients with hypertension. Patients were stratified by the combination of BMI and HG. COX regression analysis was used to assess the mortality risk. A total of 563 patients (age 77 [71-84] years, 50% male, 40% frailty) were followed for a median duration of 41 (34-43) months. In total, 59 deaths occurred during the follow-up period. Validation of mortality by BMI level revealed that patients with BMI < 22 kg/m
