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

The clinical importance of white-coat hypertension (WCH) remains a controversial issue. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of isolated systolic, isolated diastolic, and systolic/diastolic WCH with common carotid artery intima-media thickness (CCA-IMT) and to compare each subgroup of WCH against other blood pressure (BP) phenotypes in terms of CCA-IMT values. A total of 1382 consecutive patients underwent 24-hour ambulatory BP monitoring and carotid artery ultrasonographic measurements. According to the type of elevated office BP, WCH was divided into three groups: isolated systolic, isolated diastolic, and systolic/diastolic WCH. Patients with isolated systolic WCH (n=112) had significantly higher CCA-IMT values (0.737 mm) than those with isolated diastolic WCH (n=66) (0.685 mm) and nonsignificantly greater compared with those with systolic/diastolic WCH (n=228) (0.708 mm). Patients with isolated systolic WCH had CCA-IMT values similar to those with hypertension, patients with isolated diastolic WCH had similar values to those with normotension, and patients with systolic/diastolic WCH had an intermediate risk between normotension and hypertension.
