Whole grain and refined grain consumption and the risk of hypertension: a systematic review and meta-analysis of prospective studies.

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
A high intake of whole grains has been associated with a reduced risk of hypertension, however, studies have not been entirely consistent. Findings regarding refined grains and hypertension have also been inconsistent. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies on whole grain and refined grain consumption and hypertension risk. PubMed and Embase databases were searched up to 25th of July 2024. Random effects models were used to estimate summary relative risks (RRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the association between whole grain and refined grain intake and hypertension. Restricted cubic splines were used to investigate potential nonlinear associations. Nine cohort studies were included in the meta-analysis. The summary RR (95% CI) for high vs. low whole grain intake was 0.74 (0.59-0.93, I
