LikelyGrade B, Likely. Human evidence with one recorded weakness, or capped at B by its design or by unread numbers.Finding“The patients treated with rosuvastatin in addition to antihypertensives had a significantly lower DBP (MD = −2.12 mmHg; 95% CI = −3.72 to −0.52; Pfixed-effects model = 0.009; I 2 = 0%, Pheterogeneity = 0.97) than the patients treated with antihypertensives alone.”

systolic blood pressure (setting unspecified)
MD = −2.27 mmHg; 95% CI = −4.79 to 0.25; Pfixed-effects model = 0.08, p = 0.08
Not recorded as a finding: The sentence negates only one tail ('not associated with a significant reduction'), and no sentence in the paper states a two-sided absence of difference for SBP, so no direction is recordable per the one-sided-negation rule.
However, rosuvastatin therapy was not associated with a significant reduction in SBP (MD = −2.27 mmHg; 95% CI = −4.79 to 0.25; Pfixed-effects model = 0.08; I 2 = 0%, Pheterogeneity = 0.82).
