K(+)/Finding

One finding, on its own

A single claim from the graph, with the evidence strength computed from its study, the sentence it was drawn from, and the paper. This address does not change.

  • K(+) — no detected effect on diastolic blood pressure (setting unspecified)

    Evidence strength: very limited.FindingNull resultreplicated ×1
    “Compared to placebo, active treatment was associated with a significant reduction in systolic BP (-5.00 mmHg, 95% CI: -2.13 to -7.88 mmHg, P < 0.001) but not diastolic BP (-0.63 mmHg, 95% CI: -2.49 to1.23 mmHg, P = 0.51) during 12-week intervention.”
