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

backgroundIncrease in blood pressure (BP) variability (BPV) is associated with cardiovascular events, target organ damage, and arterial stiffness in adults. We previously reported that 24-h BPV may be associated with arterial stiffness and underlie white-coat hypertension (WCH). In this study, we examined whether visit-to-visit variability (VVV) could predict WCH and whether VVV correlated with eGFR, eGFR slope, and albuminuria/proteinuria in children and adolescents with renal diseases.

methodsVVV was determined as average real variability of office BP measurements between visits, and 24-h BPV as the standard deviation of 24-h ambulatory BP. In 35 renal patients (25 boys and 10 girls, 7-18 years of age), divided into normotension (NT), WCH, and hypertension (HTN), the relationships between VVV and 24-h BPV and VVV in each BP category were studied. In separate 48 renal patients (24 boys and 24 girls, 2-18 years of age), the correlation between VVV and eGFR, eGFR slope, urine albumin or protein excretion was examined.

resultsSystolic VVV was significantly correlated with systolic office BP index. There was no correlation between VVV and 24-h BPV or 24-h pulse pressure. In addition, VVV was not different among NT, WCH, and HTN. Systolic VVV was significantly negatively correlated with eGFR but not with eGFR slope, albuminuria, or proteinuria. A cut-off value of systolic VVV for detecting eGFR < 60 ml/min per 1.73 m

conclusionVVV could not predict WCH. Systolic VVV correlated with eGFR but not with eGFR slope, albuminuria/proteinuria. Increased VVV could be a marker of decreased eGFR.
