Visit-to-visit Systolic Blood Pressure Variability and Stroke Risk: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

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 variability in systolic blood pressure (SBP) may have an important additional role in increasing the risk of vascular complications, including stroke. We conducted a meta-analysis to assess the relationship between visit-to-visit SBP variability (SBPV) and stroke risk. PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane library databases were searched for cohort studies with data on visit-to-visit SBPV and stroke risk. Studies that reported adjusted relative risks (RRs) with 95% CIs of stroke associated with SBPV were included. Fourteen cohort studies met the inclusion criteria and were included in our meta-analysis. After adjustment for age, sex, and existing vascular risk factors, the analysis showed that the risk of stroke in patients with SBPV was significantly increased compared with patients with a small baseline SBPV [SD (RR=1.20, 95% CI=(1.07-1.35), P=0.0005), CV (RR=1.12, 95% CI=(1.00-1.26), P=0.008)]. In addition, follow-up variations of more than 5 years were associated with a higher risk of stroke than those of less than 5 years [RR=1.08, 95% CI=(1.04-1.11)]. Visit-to-visit SBPV was associated with an increased risk of stroke, especially in terms of the time of variation. Taken together, SBPV data may be useful as a preventative diagnostic method in the management of stroke.
