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

Hypertension is the most common preventable cause of cardiovascular disease. Home blood pressure monitoring (HBPM) is a self-monitoring tool that can be incorporated into the care for patients with hypertension and is recommended by major guidelines. A growing body of evidence supports the benefits of patient HBPM compared with office-based monitoring: these include improved control of BP, diagnosis of white-coat hypertension and prediction of cardiovascular risk. Furthermore, HBPM is cheaper and easier to perform than 24-hour ambulatory BP monitoring (ABPM). All HBPM devices require validation, however, as inaccurate readings have been found in a high proportion of monitors. New technology features a longer inflatable area within the cuff that wraps all the way round the arm, increasing the 'acceptable range' of placement and thus reducing the impact of cuff placement on reading accuracy, thereby overcoming the limitations of current devices.
