Relations between white coat effect of blood pressure and arterial stiffness.
Article in Journal of clinical hypertension (Greenwich, Conn.), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (b-a PWV) and white coat effect (WCE), that is the difference between the elevated office blood pressure (BP) and the lower mean daytime pressure of ambulatory BP, in a mixed population of normotention, untreated sustained hypertension, sustained controlled hypertension, sustained uncontrolled hypertension, white coat hypertension, white coat uncontrolled hypertension. A total of 444 patients with WCE for systolic BP (54.1% female, age 61.86 ± 13.3 years) were enrolled in the study. Patients were separated into low WCE (<9.5 mm Hg) and high WCE (≥9.5 mm Hg) according to the median of WCE. The subjects with a high WCE showed a greater degree of arterial stiffness than those with a low WCE for systolic BP values (P < .05). The b-a PWV were 17.2 ± 3.3 m/s and 18.4 ± 3.4 m/s in low WCE and high WCE, respectively. The b-a PWV increased with the increase of WCE, showing a positive correlation between them (P > .05 for non-linearity). The significant association between the high WCE and the b-a PWV was confirmed by the results of multiple regression analysis after adjusting for confounding factors (β = .78, 95% Cl .25-1.31, P = . 004). Similar results were observed in subgroups. In conclusion, WCE is significantly associated with arterial stiffness. More research is needed to determine the WCE and target organ damage.
