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

International Guidelines recommend ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) for the management of hypertension. ABPM phenotypes predict outcomes independent of office blood pressure (BP). The authors explored the prevalence and clinical correlates of ABPM phenotypes and relationship with office BP in Saudi patients (n = 428, mean age 53.5 ± 14.6, 55% male) referred to a Specialist Hypertension clinic in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. ABPM phenotypes included sustained normotension (27%), masked hypertension, MHT(32%), sustained hypertension, SHT(52%), and white coat hypertension(2.6%). MHT was more prevalent using asleep than 24-hours (26.4% vs 12.9%, P < .01) or awake BP (26.4% vs 8.5%, P < .001) and observed in 85% of pre-hypertensive patients. Isolated nocturnal hypertension was more prevalent in MHT vs SHT (70% vs 30%, P < .001). Office BP overestimated control rates compared with ABPM (48% vs 12.9%, P < .001). Our study shows that one in three Saudi patients will be managed inappropriately if office BP alone was relied upon for management of hypertension.
