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

Arterial damage of large arteries, addressed as c-f PWV, is recognized as independent predictor for future cardiovascular disease. The aim of this study was to systematically investigate the association of the four hypertension phenotypes with carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (c-f PWV), in untreated patients. PubMed and Cochrane Library were searched to identify studies comparing c-f PWV levels between normotensives, sustained hypertensives, white-coat hypertensives (WCH), and masked hypertensives (MH). Meta-analysis was performed to compare the difference c-f PWV levels between these groups. Newcastle-Ottawa quality assessment scale for cross-sectional studies was used to assess study quality. MH and WCH patients had significantly increased c-f PWV values compared to the normotensive groups (d = 0.96 m/s, 95% CI: 0.49-1.42; I2 = 85%, P < .01 for MH and d = 0.85 m/s, 95% CI: 0.48-1.22; I2 = 89%, for WCH). Moreover, the sustained hypertensive population was found to have significantly increased values of c-f PWV compared to MH (d = -0.70 m/s, 95% CI: -0.87 to -0.54; I2 = 12%, P = .33) but not compared to WCH population (d = -0.75 m/s, 95% CI: -1.52-0.02; I
