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.

Abstract

Background: Systolic blood pressure time in target range (SBP TTR) is a novel metric for blood pressure control. Previous studies have demonstrated an inverse association between SBP TTR and risks of cardiovascular events, but sex differences have never been reported. This study aims to investigate the sex-specific differences in the relationship using data from the Systolic Blood Pressure Intervention Trial (SPRINT). Methods: This post hoc analysis included 8822 SPRINT participants with at least three follow-up systolic blood pressure (SBP) measurements within the first three months. SBP TTR was calculated using the Rosendaal method of linear interpolation. The primary endpoint was major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE). Cox proportional hazards models and restricted cubic splines (RCS) were used to assess the association between SBP TTR and cardiovascular events. Results: Women accounted for 35.3% with a mean age of 68.6 ± 9.5 years, having a higher body mass index ( Conclusions: The study demonstrates that in women, a higher SBP TTR is associated with a reduced risk of MACCE and acute decompensated heart failure, while in men, a similar trend is observed only when SBP TTR is higher, underscoring the necessity of considering sex differences in personalized blood pressure management strategies. Clinical Trial Registration: NCT01206062, https://www.clinicaltrials.gov/expert-search?term=NCT01206062.
