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

purposeUsing pulse transit time (PTT) and an ECG appears to be a promising alternative for invasive or noninvasive monitoring of blood pressure (BP). This study assessed the validity of PTT for BP monitoring in clinical practice.

methodsTwenty-nine patients with chronic heart failure (HF; 27 male, 70.5 ± 9.9 years) and nocturnal Cheyne-Stokes respiration were noninvasively ventilated for one hour using adaptive servoventilation (ASV) therapy (PaceWave, ResMed). BP was measured using two devices (oscillometrically via Task Force Monitor, CNSystems and PTT via SOMNOscreen, Somnomedics) at least every 7 min for 30 min before, during, and after ASV.

resultsMean systolic BP was 118.1 ± 14.4 mmHg vs. 115.9 ± 14.1 mmHg for oscillometric method vs PTT, respectively. Corresponding values for diastolic BP were 72.3 ± 10.3 mmHg and 69.4 ± 11.1 mmHg. While clinically comparable, differences between the two methods were statistically significant (p < 0.05). The difference between the two methods showed an increasing trend over time. A total of 18.5 % of PTT-based measurements could not be analyzed. The direction of a change in BP was opposite for PTT vs oscillometry for 17.0 % and 32.8 % of systolic and diastolic BP measurements, respectively.

conclusionsWhen monitoring BP in HF patients, overall BP monitoring using PTT is comparable to oscillometry for a period of 2 h (including a 1-h ASV phase). However, PTT shows a tendency to underestimate BP over time and during ASV.
