Do Obese Individuals With Hypertension Have More Difficult-to-Control Blood Pressure and End Organ Damage Than Their Nonobese Counterparts?
Article in Journal of clinical hypertension (Greenwich, Conn.), 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
The authors assessed whether individuals with elevated body mass index (BMI) and hypertension had more difficult-to-control blood pressure (BP) and more evidence of end organ damage using data collected prospectively over 11 years from a secondary care hypertension clinic. A total of 1114 individuals were divided by BMI criteria into normal (n=207), overweight (n=440), and obese (n=467). Mean daytime, nighttime, and 24-hour systolic BP and diastolic BP were similar in all groups. There was less nocturnal dip in obese compared with overweight groups (P=.025). Individuals with a normal BMI were taking fewer antihypertensive medications than those in the obese group (P=.01). Individuals classified as obese had a higher left ventricular mass index than those with a normal BMI (female, P=.028; male, P<.001); this relationship remained after multivariate linear regression. Obese individuals with hypertension required more medication to achieve similar mean ambulatory BP values, had less nocturnal dip in BP, and had a higher prevalence of left ventricular hypertrophy. As such, obese patients are at potentially increased risk of cardiovascular events.
