Improving the detection of preclinical organ damage in newly diagnosed hypertension: nocturnal hypertension versus non-dipping pattern.

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
The clinical relevance of nocturnal hypertension (NH) in comparison with non-dipping status has not been clarified yet, as regards subclinical target organ damage. We aimed to elucidate whether NH or dipping status reflects better organ damage. The study population included 319 newly diagnosed hypertensive patients. Subclinical organ damage was evaluated to all participants. On the basis of nocturnal blood pressure (BP) levels the population was divided into two groups: NH and nocturnal normotension. Also, individuals were defined as dippers and non-dippers according to systolic BP fall. Patients with NH were characterized by increased arterial pulse wave velocity (PWV; 9.1±1.7 vs 8.4±1.5 m s(-1), P=0.0001) and carotid intima-media thickness (0.77±0.18 vs 0.69±0.15 mm, P=0.016) compared with normotensive subjects. Notably, they also exhibited higher values of left ventricular mass index (88.1±22.9 vs 82.8±16.6 g m(-)(2) P=0.043). On the contrary, non-dipping status was associated only with differences in PWV (9.26±0.2 vs 8.64±0.2 m s(-1), P=0.031, 8) and in creatinine clearance (95±3 vs 106±4, P=0.025) in the group of NH. The presence of NH is accompanied by subclinical atherosclerosis, as well as structural abnormalities of the left ventricle. Therefore, NH rather than non-dipping status could be preferably integrated with the risk of organ damage.
