Nocturnal medications dosing: does it really make a difference in blood pressure control among patients with chronic kidney disease?
Review in Current hypertension reports, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Ambulatory blood pressure (BP) monitoring is superior to clinic BP monitoring in predicting long-term consequences of hypertension. This has raised interest in diurnal variation in BP and elevation in nighttime BP as a prognostic and therapeutic target. Several studies have identified prevalence of nocturnal hypertension in patients with accelerated progression of chronic kidney disease and target organ damage. Some studies suggest that nocturnal BP can be lowered by changing administration of antihypertensive medication to bed time; whether that results in retarding kidney disease progression is not very clear. Further research is needed to determine if certain classes of medications or interventions are superior in controlling nocturnal hypertension, and protocols need to be developed to screen patients for monitoring nocturnal BP. Further studies are needed to evaluate long-term renal outcomes of evening dosing in patients with nocturnal hypertension and chronic kidney disease.
