Review in Current cardiology reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

purpose of reviewThis review aims to clarify the cardiovascular risk of white coat hypertension (WCH). RECENT

findingsCardiovascular risk of WCH has been evaluated in multiple meta-analyses and population-based studies. International Database on Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring in Relation to Cardiovascular Outcomes study evaluated the cardiovascular risk in 653 patients with WCH and 5137 normotensive patients. The patients were age-matched and were followed for 10.6 years. The results revealed no increased cardiovascular risk except in older high-risk WCH patients. A recent meta-analysis evaluated the cardiovascular risk in WCH subjects without any antihypertensive treatment (23 cohorts, 20 445 individuals), WCH subjects with antihypertensive treatment (11 cohorts, 8656 individuals), and mixed population including both treated and untreated subjects (12 cohorts, 21 336 individuals). This study revealed increased cardiovascular risk in untreated and mixed population WCH subjects but not in treated WCH subjects. WCH might have prognostic impact on cardiovascular outcomes; however, this is not true in all WCH subjects. Further studies should identify the subgroups of WCH that are at increased risk and evaluate the effect of therapeutic measures on cardiovascular outcomes.
