1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

To investigate the effects of variability in self-measured systolic blood pressure at home on the progression of cognitive impairment and white matter lesions in the oldest old. Between April 2009 and October 2009, 248 oldest old aged 80 years or older were eligibly enrolled from geriatric practices and community-dwelling areas of Shandong, China. Self-measured blood pressure at home (HBP) was measured for 7 consecutive days at the baseline, and the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score and brain white matter hyperintensities (WMH) were assessed at the baseline and during the final follow-up visit. Variability in systolic HBP was evaluated using coefficient of variation (CV) in serial daily systolic HBP measurements of the last 6 consecutive days. After an average of 2.3 years of follow-up visits, 232 oldest old were included in and 16 were excluded from the analysis. The MMSE score declined -4.76 (interquartile ranges: -10.71, -0.83) %, the periventricular WMH, deep WMH, total WMH and WMH fraction increased 16.46 (s.d.: 6.72)%, 10.05 (s.d.: 6.40)%, 14.69 (s.d.: 6.07)% and 15.95 (s.d.: 6.32)%, respectively, in the total oldest old. A declined percentage of the MMSE score and increased percentages of the periventricular WMH, deep WMH, total WMH and WMH fraction in the high group divided by tertile of the CV of the systolic HBP at baseline were greater than those in the low group (P<0.05). The significant differences were retained after adjusting for covariates, including the MMSE score, periventricular WMH, deep WMH and WMH fraction at the baseline (P<0.05). Excessive variability in self-measured systolic HBP exacerbates the progression of cognitive impairment and brain white matter lesions in the oldest old.
