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 morning blood pressure surge (MBPS) has been shown to be an independent predictor of cardiovascular events. There is insufficient evidence on the effect of nebivolol, a vasodilating β1-receptor blocker, on the MBPS when given in the morning or the evening. This is a prospective, randomized, double-blind, crossover study designed to test morning vs. evening dosing of nebivolol in nondiabetic, hypertensive patients. Patients received nebivolol 5 mg/day (force-titrated to 10 mg/day after 1 week) in the morning or evening and corresponding placebos. Patients underwent ambulatory BP monitoring at baseline and after each treatment phase. Forty-two patients were randomized, of whom 38 completed both study periods. Both morning and evening dosed nebivolol significantly lowered daytime, nighttime, and 24-hour BP after 3 weeks of treatment. Evening (but not morning) dosing significantly reduced prewaking systolic BP from baseline (8.64 ± 26.46 mm Hg, P = .048). Nebivolol given in the morning or the evening significantly reduces 24-hour BP parameters. Evening dosed nebivolol may confer some advantage over morning dosing in reducing prewaking systolic BP.
