Differing Effects of Aliskiren/Amlodipine Combination and High-Dose Amlodipine Monotherapy on Ambulatory Blood Pressure and Target Organ Protection.

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 aim of this study was to compare an aliskiren/amlodipine combination with high-dose amlodipine monotherapy on ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) and organ protection. The study was a prospective, randomized, multicenter, open-label trial in elderly essential hypertensive patients. A total of 105 patients with clinic BP (CBP) ≥140/90 mm Hg with amlodipine 5 mg were randomly allocated to aliskiren (150-300 mg)/amlodipine (5 mg) (ALI/AML group, n=53) or high-dose amlodipine (10 mg) (h-dAML group, n=52) and treated for 16 weeks. Each patient's CBP, ABPM, urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR), and brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) were measured at baseline and at the end of the study. The ALI/AML and h-dAML groups showed similarly reduced mean 24-hour SBP, daytime SBP, nighttime SBP, and baPWV. However, UACR reduction was significantly greater in the ALI/AML group (P=.02). ALI/AML was significantly less effective in reducing early-morning BP (P=.002) and morning BP surge (P=.001) compared with h-dAML.
