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

We investigated the prognostic value of morning surge (MS) of blood pressure (BP) in middle-aged treated hypertensive patients. The occurrence of a composite end point (coronary events, stroke, and heart failure requiring hospitalization) was evaluated in 1073 middle-aged treated hypertensive patients (mean age 49 years). Patients with preawakening MS of BP above the 90th percentile (27/20.5 mm Hg for systolic/diastolic BP) were defined as having high MS of BP. During the follow-up (mean 10.9 years), 131 cardiovascular events occurred. After adjustment for various covariates, including known risk markers and ambulatory BP parameters, patients with high MS of systolic BP (hazard ratio 1.81, 95% confidence interval 1.10-2.96) and those with high MS of diastolic BP (hazard ratio 1.98, 95% confidence interval 1.19-3.28) were at higher cardiovascular risk than those with normal MS. In middle-aged treated hypertensive patients, high MS of systolic and diastolic BP is independently associated with increased cardiovascular risk.
