Prognostic Value of Ambulatory Blood Pressure in the Obese: The Ambulatory Blood Pressure-International Study.
Article in Journal of clinical hypertension (Greenwich, Conn.), 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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 purpose of this study was to compare the predictive value of ambulatory blood pressure (BP) vs office BP for cardiovascular events during a 5.8-year follow-up period in the obese and nonobese participants of the Ambulatory Blood Pressure-International Study (n=10,817). Both ambulatory BP and office BP considered separately were predictive of cardiovascular events. However, in Cox models including both pressures, only ambulatory BP was associated with outcome. Among obese patients, the hazard ratios for a 10-mm Hg increase in 24-hour and office systolic BPs were 1.37 (95% confidence interval, 1.20-1.53) and 0.91 (95% confidence interval, 0.76-1.07), respectively. Among nonobese patients, the corresponding hazard ratios were 1.39 (95% confidence interval, 1.31-1.47) and 0.94 (95% confidence interval, 0.88-1.00) (P=not significant vs obese). Similar results were obtained for diastolic BP and for daytime and nighttime BPs. Ambulatory BP has similar predictive capacity in obese and nonobese patients, suggesting that ambulatory BP monitoring is a useful diagnostic tool for the assessment of obese individuals.
