Guidance for the Interpretation of Continual Cuffless Blood Pressure Data for the Diagnosis and Management of Hypertension.
Article in Frontiers in medical technology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 2 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 19 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.

Abstract
Hypertension remains the leading risk factor for death worldwide. Despite its prevalence, success of blood pressure (BP) management efforts remains elusive, and part of the difficulty lies in the tool still used to diagnose, measure, and treat hypertension: the sphygmomanometer introduced by Samuel Siegfried Karl von Basch in 1867. In recent years, there has been an explosion of devices attempting to provide estimates of BP without a cuff, overcoming many limitations of cuff-based BP monitors. Unfortunately, the differences in underlying technologies between traditional BP cuffs and newer cuffless devices, as well as hesitancy of changing a well-implemented standard, still generate understandable skepticism about and reluctance to adopt cuffless BP monitors in clinical practice. This guidance document aims to navigate the scientific and medical communities through the types of cuffless devices and present examples of robust BP data collection which are better representations of a person's true BP. It highlights the differences between data collected by cuffless and traditional cuff-based devices and provides an initial framework of interpretation of the new cuffless datasets using, as an example, a CE-marked continual cuffless BP device (Aktiia BP Monitor, Aktiia, Switzerland). Demonstration of novel BP metrics, which have the potential to change the paradigm of hypertension diagnosis and treatment, are now possible for the first time with cuffless BP monitors that provide continual readings over long periods. Widespread adoption of continual cuffless BP monitors in healthcare will require a collaborative and thoughtful process, acknowledging that the transition from a legacy to a novel medical technology will be slow. Finally, this guidance concludes with a call to action to international scientific and expert associations to include cuffless BP monitors in original scientific research and in future versions of guidelines and standards.
