1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

The aim of this study was to evaluate ambulatory blood pressure monitoring in patients with essential hypertension and hypertension caused by adrenal pathology. Sixty-six patients with primary aldosteronism, 37 with pheochromocytomas, and 45 with adrenal incidentalomas were included. These patients were compared with 152 essential hypertensive patients and 64 normotensive subjects. Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring evaluated daytime and nighttime systolic and diastolic blood pressure and heart rate. The authors found that the "nondipper" phenomenon was present in 51.5% of patients with primary aldosteronism, 43.2% with pheochromocytomas, 42.2% with incidentalomas, 34.2% with hypertension, and 15% of subjects who were normotensive. In 58% of primary aldosteronism patients with idiopathic adrenal hyperplasia, there was an absence of the physiologic blood pressure nocturnal fall (nondipper), which was statistically significant (P<.001) compared with nondipper primary aldosteronism patients with adrenocortical adenoma (38%). In conclusion, the prevalence of the nondipping pattern was higher in patients with adrenal hypertension compared with patients with essential hypertension, suggesting an independent cardiovascular risk factor.
