Within-Visit Blood Pressure Variability and Cardiovascular Risk in ELSA-Brasil Study Participants.
Article in Arquivos brasileiros de cardiologia, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
backgroundBlood pressure variability (BPV) is of prognostic value for fatal and non-fatal cardiovascular outcomes.
objectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the association between within-visit BPV and cardiovascular risk among participants of the Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Adult Health (ELSA-Brasil).
methodsThe present cross-sectional study was carried out using baseline data (2008-2010) of 14,357 ELSA-Brasil participants with no prior history of cardiovascular disease. Within-visit BPV was quantified by the coefficient of variation of three standardized systolic blood pressure (SBP) measurements using an oscillometer. Anthropometric measurements and laboratory tests were also performed. Cardiovascular risk was assessed using the atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk estimator (ASCVD) and multivariate logistic regression analysis was employed with a significance level of 5%.
resultsSignificantly higher cardiovascular risk was determined by increased BPV for both sexes. A significantly higher prevalence of high risk was found in men than women across all quartiles, with the highest difference observed in the fourth quartile of variability (48.3% vs. 17.1%). Comparisons among quartiles in each sex revealed a significantly higher cardiovascular risk for men in the third (OR=1.20; 95%CI: 1.02 - 1.40) and fourth quartiles (OR=1.46; 95%CI: 1.25 -1.71), and for women in the fourth quartile (OR=1.27; 95%CI: 1.03 - 1.57).
conclusionAnalysis of baseline data of the ELSA-Brasil participants revealed that blood pressure variability was associated with increased cardiovascular risk, especially in men.
