A Randomized Trial of Home Blood-Pressure Reduction by Alcohol Guidance During Outpatient Visits: OSAKE Study.
Trial report in American journal of hypertension, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundTo evaluate the effectiveness of the nurse-led alcohol guidance to control home blood pressure (HBP) in the morning among male patients with hypertension during outpatient visits.
methodsWe enrolled 53 male patients with an HBP of ≥135/85 mm Hg with excessive drinking (alcohol ≥210 g/week or ≥60 g/day habitually) among outpatients in a randomized trial. Patients were assigned to a nurse-led alcohol guidance intervention or to the control. The primary outcomes were the mean HBP of 5 consecutive days at 6 months and alcohol consumption.
resultsTwenty-eight and 25 patients were randomized to intervention and control groups, respectively (mean age; 62.7 years old and 64.5, respectively). At baseline, the groups were well balanced across most characteristics. At 6 months, the mean HBP was 131/82 mm Hg in the intervention group vs. 145/87 mm Hg in the control group (SBP <0.001, DBP = 0.09). An HBP level of less than 135/85 mm Hg was achieved among 55.6% of the participants in the intervention group vs. 16.7% in the control group (P = 0.004). The alcohol consumption at 6 months was 256 ± 206 g/w vs. 413 ± 260 g/w, respectively (P = 0.020).
conclusionsWe confirmed the effectiveness of the nurse-led alcohol guidance to control the HBP in male patients with hypertension during outpatient visits. PUBLIC TRIALS REGISTRY NUMBER: UMIN000017454 (UMIN Clinical Trials Registry).
