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

Sex differences in blood pressure are evident from puberty through menopause, with premenopausal females exhibiting lower blood pressure than males. This review discusses key factors contributing to sex differences in blood pressure, focusing on the normotensive state. Key contributions from a number of systems are discussed, including cardiovascular and renal function, oxidative stress, immune cell involvement, the microbiome, and the roles of the nervous system and renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. Additionally, we highlight novel advances in the field, including findings related to the G protein-coupled estrogen receptor (GPER), Klotho, olfactory receptor 558 (OLFR558), and the four-core genotype (FCG) model. Insights from clinical data and their implications for hypertension management are also considered. In sum, this review aims to integrate current knowledge on sex differences in blood pressure regulation to inform future research and clinical care.
