Effect of renal denervation in attenuating the stress of morning surge in blood pressure: post-hoc analysis from the SPYRAL HTN-ON MED trial.
Trial report in Clinical research in cardiology : official journal of the German Cardiac Society, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02439775 (Global Clinical Study of Renal Denervation With the Symplicity Spyral™ Multi-electrode Renal Denervation System in Patients With Uncontrolled Hypertension on Standard Medical Therapy), which is not on this map.

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

Abstract
backgroundCatheter-based renal denervation (RDN) reduces blood pressure (BP) throughout the 24-h period, as reported in several randomized sham-controlled trials. Reduction of BP in the early morning hours is especially important due to increased cardiovascular risks during that time.
objectiveIn this report, we examine the impact of RDN on systolic BP (SBP) and diastolic BP (DBP) during the critical morning surge period in a post-hoc analysis of patients in the SPYRAL HTN-ON MED trial. METHODS AND
resultsAmbulatory BP measurements were collected at baseline and 6 months for treatment and control patient groups over 24-h periods. Average morning BP surge is the difference between average morning BP and average nighttime BP, and the morning surge slope reflects the rate of change of BP from nighttime to morning. Mean morning DBP surge slopes were significantly lower for RDN vs. control groups at 6 months (1.1 vs. 3.6 mmHg/h; p = 0.029). In the RDN group, morning DBP surge slopes were significantly lower at 6 months compared to baseline (1.1 vs. 4.1 mmHg/h; p = 0.006). Similar patterns were observed for mean morning SBP surge slope but did not reach statistical significance.
conclusionsThis decrease in the morning DBP surge slope, an index of the sympathetically-mediated morning BP surge, thus indicates a drop in late morning BP relative to early morning/nocturnal BP in the RDN group. Thus, RDN appears effective in attenuating the slope of morning surge in DBP that might indicate possible benefits in a high-risk hypertensive population. CLINICAL
