Predicted and observed effects of blood pressure lowering among patients with ischaemic stroke or transient ischaemic attacks. Predicted reductions in stroke risk and 95% confidence interval for a given reduction in usual systolic blood pressure are indicated by diagonal lines; Observed effects of treatment on stroke risk and 95% confidence intervals are indicated by vertical lines and boxes. Box sizes are proportional to the number of strokes. All estimates of reductions in stroke risk are plotted on a logarithmic scale
