Sodium reduction and salt substitutes: impact on blood pressure and recurrent stroke.
Review in Current opinion in cardiology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purpose of reviewThe health effects of dietary sodium and dietary potassium intake in mitigating blood pressure (BP) are a focus of research. This review summarizes recent findings of these health effects and the effectiveness of potassium-enriched salt substitutes on the risk for and recurrence of cardiovascular events. RECENT
findingsSalt substitution is an emerging sodium reduction strategy that may prove to be more beneficial in lowering BP and reducing risk for recurrent stroke compared with alternative low-sodium diets. However, careful consideration is required for patients with impaired renal function or on specific renal physiology-modulating pharmacotherapies. SUMMARY: Low sodium substitutes have proven to be more efficacious and practical in lowering BP and preventing stroke or recurrence of stroke than alternative low-sodium diets. This salt reduction strategy holds promising value in reducing the risk for cardiovascular disease.
