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

Affective temperaments (depressive, anxious, irritable, hyperthymic, and cyclothymic) are stable parts of personality and describe emotional reactivity to external stimuli. Their relation to psychopathological conditions is obvious, but less data are available on their relationship with cardiovascular disorders. The aim of this study was to evaluate affective temperaments and hemodynamic and arterial stiffness parameters in healthy subjects (Cont), in white-coat hypertensive (WhHT) patients, and in non-resistant (non-ResHT) and resistant hypertensive (ResHT) patients. In this cross-sectional study, 363 patients were included: 82 Cont, 44 WhHT, 200 non-ResHT, and 37 ResHT. The patients completed the Temperament Evaluation of Memphis, Pisa, Paris, and San Diego Autoquestionnaire (TEMPS-A), and arterial stiffness was examined with tonometry (PulsePen). Significant differences were found between the Cont, WhHT, non-ResHT and ResHT groups in pulse wave velocity (7.76 ± 0.96, 8.13 ± 1.39, 8.98 ± 1.25, and 10.18 ± 1.18 m/s, respectively, p < 0.05 between Cont and non-ResHT/ResHT; p < 0.05 between non-ResHT and ResHT). Cyclothymic affective temperament points (4 (2.25-8)) were higher (p < 0.05) in the ResHT group than in the Cont (2 (0-5)) and non-ResHT (3 (1-5)) groups. The cyclothymic temperament points of the WhHT group (4 (2-7)) were also higher than those in the Cont group. ResHT was independently associated with a cyclothymic scale score above 6 (beta = 2.59 (95% CI: 1.16-5.77)), an irritable scale score above 7 (beta = 3.17 (95% CI: 1.3-7.69)) and an anxious scale score above 9 (beta = 2.57 (95% CI: 1.08-6.13)) points. WhHT was also independently associated with cyclothymic scale scores above 6 points (beta = 2.378, 95% CI: 1.178-4.802). In conclusion, white-coat and ResHT patients have specific affective temperament patterns, and the evaluation of these patterns can help to understand the psychopathological background of these conditions.
