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
Introduction: Lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease that causes a significantly increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. This process is underlain by the early and accelerated atherosclerosis. Aim: To assess the diurnal blood pressure profile disturbances in normotensive patients without overt cardiovascular disease and to correlate with early atherosclerotic markers. Material and methods: The study included 32 baseline normotensive women with SLE and 30 healthy control women. Each participant underwent a 24-hour automatic blood pressure measurement and an ultrasound assessment of intima media thickness (IMT) and the presence of carotid atherosclerotic plaques. Results: Atherosclerotic plaques were present in 46.9% of SLE women. They had a significantly higher IMT compared to those without atherosclerotic plaques and control group (0.833 ±0.216 vs. 0.606 ±0.121 vs. 0.66 ±0.16 mm). A significant positive correlation was found between IMT and age of patients, nocturnal systolic blood pressure (SBP), nocturnal systolic pressure (SP) load, nocturnal SBP decline and presence of atherosclerotic plaques. The plaques positively correlated with age and with ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) parameters. Fifty percent of SLE women had an abnormal 24-hour BP profile, of which 4 had non-dipper, 8 invers, and 4 hyper-dipper profile. Based on ABPM, hypertension can be diagnosed in 14 (43.75%) initially normotensive women. Women with SLE and arterial hypertension (HA) had atherosclerotic plaques significantly more often, especially in nocturnal hypertension. Conclusions: The authors confirm the underestimation of hypertension in SLE. Most women diagnosed with hypertension by ABPM had nocturnal hypertension. We showed a more frequent disturbed BP and a significant relationship between the abnormal BP profile, especially nocturnal hypertension, and accelerated development of atherosclerosis.
