Reproducibility of blood pressure dipping: relation to day-to-day variability in sleep quality.
Trial report in Journal of the American Society of Hypertension : JASH. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 27 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
Previous studies of the reproducibility of blood pressure (BP) dipping have yielded inconsistent results. Few have examined factors that may influence day-to-day differences in dipping. Ambulatory BP monitoring was performed on three occasions, approximately 1 week apart, in 115 untreated adult subjects with elevated clinic BPs. The mean ± standard deviation BP dip was 18 ± 7/15 ± 5 mm Hg (sleep/awake BP ratio = 0.87 ± 0.05/0.82 ± 0.06), with a median (interquartile range) day-to-day variation of 5.2 (3.1-8.1)/4.3 (2.8-5.6) mm Hg. There was no decrease in variability with successive measurements. The reproducibility coefficient (5.6 [95% confidence interval, 5.1-6.1] mm Hg) was greater and the intraclass correlation coefficient (0.53 [95% confidence interval, 0.42-0.63]) was smaller for the systolic dip than for 24-hour or awake systolic BPs, suggesting greater day-to-day variability in dipping. Variability in systolic dipping was greater in subjects with higher awake BP, but was not related to age, gender, race, or body mass index. Within individuals, day-to-day variations in dipping were related to variations in the fragmentation index (P < .001), a measure of sleep quality. Although mean 24-hour and awake BPs were relatively stable over repeated monitoring days, our study confirms substantial variability in BP dipping. Day-to-day differences in dipping are related to sleep quality.
