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
An oscillometric device is recommended for blood pressure (BP) measurement in atrial fibrillation (AF), but there is still controversy concerning its accuracy. Therefore, evaluation of BP values in AF patients remains a challenge. This study included 251 patients with AF and 154 participants with sinus rhythm (SR). Pulse rate (PR) and BP were measured using an oscillometric device three times. The differences between the highest and lowest PR and the systolic and diastolic BP (SBP and DBP) were calculated as ΔPR, ΔSBP and ΔDBP, respectively. AF patients were stratified with respect to ΔPR in 0-5, 6-10, 11-15 and >15 subgroups. The AF group had a greater ΔPR (12.1±8.6 vs. 4.10±3.21 b.p.m., P<0.001), ΔSBP and ΔDBP than the SR group at similar SBP and DBP. A positive correlation existed between ΔPR and ΔSBP (r=0.255, P<0.001) in AF patients, but no correlation was found in SR subjects. Meanwhile, the ΔSBP in the 0-5 and 6-10 subgroups (9.58±5.61 and 10.67±6.77 vs. 8.45±5.25 mm Hg, nonsignificant) was similar to the SR group, whereas ΔSBP in the 11-15 and >15 subgroups was significantly greater than the SR group. Regardless of ΔPR, the ΔDBP in the AF group was significantly greater than that of the SR group. The AF patients who exhibited greater variability in their PR also had a greater variability in their SBP readings. The SBP measurement for AF patients is accurate as the measurement for patients with SR if the ΔPR is of 0-10 b.p.m. in AF.
