Con: Ambulatory blood pressure measurement in patients receiving haemodialysis: a sore arm and a waste of time?
Article in Nephrology, dialysis, transplantation : official publication of the European Dialysis and Transplant Association - European Renal Association, 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
Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) has become popular in the investigation and management of patients with essential hypertension. In patients receiving haemodialysis, ABPM identifies patients who may fare worse in the long term. However, the available studies are small, and when conventional risk factors are included, there is no added value to ABPM over conventional BP measurements. In haemodialysis, ABPM remains an experimental investigation, and in the absence of specific, evidence-based targets for blood pressure in this population, it would be better to invest in large-scale trials to provide specific blood pressure targets and strategies, rather than concentrating on an alternative technique for blood pressure measurement.
