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
Long-term blood pressure variability (BPV) has been associated with cardiovascular events but the prognostic significance of short-term BPV remains uncertain, including its influence on the presence of target-organ damage, specifically left-ventricular hypertrophy. A meta-analysis exploring the correlation between short-term BPV and left-ventricular mass index was performed. Studies were identified by systematic searches in Pubmed and EMBASE. Any summary measure of short-term BPV obtained from ambulatory blood pressure monitoring was included. Twelve studies were included. Average real variability (ARV), s.d., weighted s.d. and coefficient of variation across 24 h/day/night periods were identified as measures of variability. Meta-analysis showed the pooled subgroup correlation coefficients of LVMI with 24 h systolic blood pressure (SBP) s.d., day SBP s.d., weighted s.d. SBP and 24 h ARV SBP were 0.22 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.12-0.31), 0.19 (95% CI: 0.15-0.25), 0.23 (95% CI: 0.13-0.33), 0.37 (95% CI: 0.01-0.65), respectively. This meta-analysis suggests there is a weak positive correlation, between BPV and LVMI.
