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

objectiveTwenty-four-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) is an accurate method to document changes in blood pressure (BP) and is more predictive than office and home BP monitoring for cardiovascular outcomes in elderly people. We aimed to determine the relationship between ABPM indices and renal damage in elderly Chinese male patients with essential hypertension.

methodsWe investigated 998 Chinese men (mean age of 78.44 ± 12.02 years) with essential hypertension. Renal function, laboratory testing, and ABPM, including ABP, BP variability, and BP circadian rhythms were investigated. Data were shown according to BP controlling status. The relationships between ABPM indices and renal damage [expressed by urine protein, urine albumin/creatinine ratio (uACR), estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), blood urea nitrogen (BUN)] were assessed using multiple regression analysis.

resultsAfter adjustments for age, common cardiovascular risk factors, and medications, uACR level was positively associated with 24-h mean systolic blood pressure (SBP), 24-h mean pulse pressure (PP), and 24-h SBP percent time of elevation. eGFR level was negatively associated with the 24-h mean SBP and 24-h mean PP. BUN level was positively correlated with the 24-h mean SBP, 24-h mean PP, and 24-h SBP percent time of elevation, whereas the BUN level was negatively associated with the 24-h DBP SD.

conclusionThe ABPM indices associated with renal damage may be regarded as an early predictive marker for renal function impairment in Chinese elderly male patients with hypertension.
