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

BACKGROUND/

objectivesHypertension exerts negative effects on the vasculature representing a key risk factor for cardiovascular disorders, cerebral and Cerebral Small Vessel Disease (CSVD).

methodsAn extensive research in the literature was implemented in order to elucidate the role of hypertension in the pathogenesis of CSVD.

resultsHypertension-mediated vascular dysfunction and chronic cerebral hypoperfusion are closely linked to CSVD. CSVD encompasses a wide range of lesions depicted on brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) or Computed Tomography (CT) scans. The presenting symptoms and clinical course are highly variable, as a significant proportion of patients remain asymptomatic. Nevertheless, CSVD is associated with an increased risk of stroke, dementia and mobility disorders. Various randomised controlled trials have been implemented trying to shed light on the effect of vascular risk-modifying agents and lifestyle interventions on the prevention and treatment of small vessel disease.

conclusionsHypertension has a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of CSVD. However, further research is required for a better understanding of the relationship between blood pressure levels and CSVD progression.
