Office blood pressure measurement types: Different methodology-Different clinical conclusions.

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.
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 measurement of blood pressure in the office (OBP) remains the basis for hypertension diagnosis and management for more than half a century. Despite the increasing use of out-of-office blood pressure measurement using home and less so ambulatory monitoring and their endorsement by hypertension societies, at present and for some time to come it is likely that in many people the diagnosis and management of hypertension will be based on OBP measurement alone. OBP measurement is a very variable method affected by multiple factors, which have major impact on the OBP level, reproducibility and prognostic ability. Thus, there are several types of OBP measurement, depending on the device type, conditions, observer's presence and the number of readings. The 4 main OBP types are: Type I: Auscultatory OBP in clinical practice; Type II: Automated attended OBP in clinical practice; Type III: Research setting OBP; Type IV: Unattended automated OBP. These OBP types have different standardization level, different reproducibility, different clinical relevance and different thresholds for hypertension diagnosis. Unless the methodological details of OBP measurement are reported, any conclusions based on such measurements in clinical research and in practice are questionable.
