The top 100 cited articles focused on hypertension research (T100) cover a variety of main goals. Our analysis showed that most T100 were observational clinical studies, followed by randomized controlled clinical trials (RCTs), and basic science. Citations were obtained from the Science Citation Index Expanded database.

Time trends in the distribution of T100 analyzed by decade. The results show that 72% of T100 were published after 1990 and T100 composition varied by decade. i.e., observational clinical studies predominated among T100 published between 1970–1989, while randomized clinical trials (RCT) increased in popularity afterward.
