Relation of central and brachial blood pressure to left ventricular hypertrophy. The Czech Post-MONICA Study.
Article in Journal of human hypertension, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Central blood pressure (BP) has been shown to be a better predictor of target organ damage and cardiovascular events than brachial BP. Whether central BP is a better predictor of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) determined by electrocardiography (ECG) is not known. Radial applanation tonometry and ECG were performed in 728 subjects from the Czech Post-MONICA Study (a randomly selected 1% population sample). LVH was determined using the Sokolow-Lyon index and Cornell product; central pressure was derived from radial pulse. Of 657 subjects included in the analysis, 17 (9.4%) below 45 years and 43 (9%) over 45 years had LVH. In multiple linear regression analysis, the Sokolow-Lyon index in younger individuals was only associated with male sex and low BMI, with no association with BP found. In older individuals, LVH was associated with higher central and brachial BP. In separate binary logistic regression analyses adjusted for covariates, the odds ratio for central systolic pressure was higher than those for brachial systolic and pulse pressure in LVH prediction. Noninvasively determined central pressure in subjects over 45 years is more strongly related to ECG LVH than brachial pressure. This further supports a closer association of central pressure with target organ damage. Voltage criteria of LVH are not independently associated with central or brachial BP in younger individuals.
