Does it matter where we measure blood pressure?
Review in British journal of clinical pharmacology, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Although blood pressure measured at the brachial artery plays a central role in our understanding and management of cardiovascular risk, in recent years great emphasis has been placed on the importance of central blood pressure. It seems straightforward that knowledge of the blood pressure directly affecting the major organs is important for understanding the pathophysiology and treatment of cardiovascular risk. However, the field has been troubled by controversies over measurement techniques and difficulty in designing therapies to modify central but not peripheral blood pressure. In this review, we consider the physiology underlying the change in blood pressure through the arterial tree and how central blood pressure can be measured. In addition, we review the evidence regarding the relationship of central BP to cardiovascular disease and the effects of treatment. New measurement techniques and evidence regarding the specific benefits of therapies in modulating central haemodynamics mean that this is a rapidly developing area, and understanding the concept of central blood pressure will be vital in the future.
