Temporal elevation of blood pressure is associated with increased risk of sudden cardiac arrest.

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
Hypertension is a known risk factor for sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). However, the role of temporal changes in blood pressure on the risk of SCA is not fully understood. This study was conducted to determine whether a temporal increase or decrease in blood pressure is associated with the risk of SCA. This study was based on nationwide healthcare insurance data. Individuals who underwent nationwide health check-ups in 2009 and 2011 were analyzed. A total of 2,801,153 individuals were evaluated for 8100 SCA events during the 17, 740, 420 person-years of follow-up. In a multivariate analysis, there were linear association between the degree of temporal elevation of systolic blood pressure (SBP) and the risk of SCA: (i) adjusted-hazard ratio (HR) 1.11 (p = 0.001) in 10 ≤ ΔSBP < 20 (mmHg) group; (ii) adjusted-HR 1.40 (p < 0.001) in 20 ≤ ΔSBP < 40 group; and (iii) adjusted-HR 1.88 (p < 0.001) in 40 ≤ ΔSBP group as compared with the reference group (- 10 ≤ ΔSBP < 10). Temporal increase in diastolic blood pressure (DBP) also a showed significant association with SCA risk with the highest risk observed in ∆DBP ≥ 25 group (adjusted-HR 1.61; p < 0.001) as compared with the reference group (- 5 ≤ ΔDBP < 5). The association between SBP and SCA was not affected by age, sex, presence of diabetes mellitus, or baseline SBP. In conclusion, a temporal increase in blood pressure was significantly associated with the occurrence of SCA, and this association was consistent across all subgroups. However, a temporary decrease in blood pressure does not reduce the risk of SCA. Prevention of elevated blood pressure may play an important role in preventing SCA.
