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

Masked hypertension, defined as discordant in-office normotension versus out-of-office hypertension, is present in approximately 10 % to 40 % of patients not receiving antihypertensive treatment. Not only are persons with prehypertension more likely to have masked hypertension, but they also frequently develop target organ damage before transitioning to established sustained hypertension. Moreover, the percentage of persons with masked hypertension increases in the presence of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, or chronic renal failure. The gold standard for diagnosing masked hypertension is the 24-hour ambulatory BP monitor (ABPM), but home BP monitoring (HBPM) has also been a useful alternative procedure. Importantly, initiating antihypertensive treatment exclusively with the use of in-office BP monitoring may result in almost one-third of patients remaining with high-risk masked uncontrolled hypertension, which underscores the importance of HBPM and ABPM as supplements to in-office BP monitoring for the effective treatment of hypertension.
