Prevalence of pseudoresistant hypertension due to inaccurate blood pressure measurement.

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 prevalence of pseudoresistant hypertension (HTN) due to inaccurate BP measurement remains unknown. Triage BP measurements and measurements obtained at the same clinic visit by trained physicians were compared in consecutive adult patients referred for uncontrolled resistant HTN (RHTN). Triage BP measurements were taken by the clinic staff during normal intake procedures. BP measurements were obtained by trained physicians using the BpTRU (VSM Med Tech Ltd. Coquitlam, Canada) device. The prevalence of uncontrolled RHTN and differences in BP measurements were compared. Of 130 patients with uncontrolled RHTN, 33.1% (n = 43) were falsely identified as having uncontrolled RHTN based on triage BP measurements. The median (inter-quartile range) of differences in systolic BP between pseudoresistant and true resistant groups were 23 (17-33) mm Hg and 13 (6-21) mm Hg, respectively (P = .0001). The median (inter-quartile range) of differences in diastolic BP between the two groups were 12 (7-18) mm Hg and 8 (4-11) mm Hg, respectively (P = .001). Triage BP technique overestimated the prevalence of uncontrolled RHTN in approximately 33% of the patients emphasizing the importance of obtaining accurate BP measurements.
