Guiding antihypertensive treatment decisions using ambulatory blood pressure monitoring.
Review in Current hypertension reports, 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Compared with isolated clinic measurements, ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) provides an insight into blood pressure (BP) changes in everyday life and an estimate of the overall BP load exerted on the cardiovascular system over 24 hours. Cross-sectional evidence suggests a direct and significant relationship between ambulatory BP and organ damage. There is also longitudinal evidence for a superior predictive value of 24-hour BP in relation to the risk for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality as opposed to clinic BP. The usefulness of ABPM in pharmacologic studies aimed at evaluating the 24-hour antihypertensive efficacy of different drugs and drug combinations is now acknowledged. Among the mathematical indices available to explore 24-hour BP coverage by treatment, the ABPM-derived smoothness index provides a superior measure of the homogeneity of BP control compared with trough:peak ratios. The main applications of clinical practice should be in identifying patients with isolated office hypertension and those who are nonresponders to treatment, in assessing coverage of the 24-hour BP profile in high-risk patients and in diagnosing suspected treatment-related hypotension.
