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
Visit-to-visit blood pressure variability (VVBPV) is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in the general population. Hemodialysis (HD) patients have a poor prognosis due to an increased prevalence of cardiovascular disease. Intradialytic hypotension is associated with excess mortality, but whether VVBPV influences mortality is still unclear in HD patients. The present study aimed to investigate the characteristics of VVBPV in these patients. A total of 324 maintenance HD patients, who could be followed for 60 months, were recruited. We used variation independent of the mean (VIM) in pre-dialysis systolic blood pressure (pre-VIM-SBP) as an index of VVBPV. We investigated (1) the reproducibility of pre-VIM-SBP, (2) the relationship between pre-VIM-SBP and background factors, and (3) the association between pre-VIM-SBP and mortality. Pre-VIM-SBP showed significant reproducibility [intraclass correlation, 0.45 (P < 0.001)]. Higher pre-VIM-SBP was associated with less physical activity and worse left ventricular diastolic function. Higher pre-VIM-SBP was associated with a higher rate of cardiovascular deaths independent of other factors. These data suggest that VVBPV in HD patients is reproducible and associated with various background factors. VVBPV is independently correlated with cardiovascular mortality (hazard ratio: 1.166, 95% confidence interval: 1.030-1.320, P = 0.015). Further studies are necessary to confirm the mechanism of increased VVBPV and to clarify whether reducing VVBPV will improve the prognosis for HD patients.
