Citation Issue
Under the "medical uses" section the quote: 'A 2022 systematic review found the absolute risk reductions for three hard outcomes – all-cause mortality, myocardial infarction, and stroke – to be 0.8%, 1.3%, and 0.4%, respectively (relative risk: 9%, 29%, 14%).' does not carry a citation. In addition I am familiar with this study and these results are only over the several year period the study was undertaken. It is misleading because it allows the user to come to the conclusion this is the benefit if the medications are taken indefinitely. Qpro18 (talk) 04:25, 4 February 2026 (UTC)
