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

objectiveTo assess the value of serum homocysteine (Hcy) in differential diagnosis of white coat hypertension (WCH).

resultsIn this retrospective study, serum Hcy levels were elevated in hypertensive patients ( MATERIALS AND

methodsThis investigation involved both a retrospective and a prospective study. Clinical data including blood pressure, age, sex, height, weight, BMI, smoking status, past history, and behavioral electrocardiogram of patients who had undergone 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) with elevated clinical blood pressure (BP) were recorded. Pearson correlation analysis was used to test the correlation between Hcy and BP. The ROC curve was used to analyze the value of measuring Hcy levels in differential diagnosis of WCH.

conclusionsSerum Hcy was decreased in WCH patients and therefore could be a biomarker for differential diagnosis of WCH.
