1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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 current research on the relationship between 24-h central pressure and 24-h brachial pressure with left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is characterised by limited sample size and inconsistent findings. Furthermore, the association has never been explored in chronic kidney disease (CKD). A multicentre, cross-sectional study among non-dialysis patients with CKD was conducted. All participants underwent brachial and central ambulatory blood pressure monitoring using MobilO-Graph PWA, while trained cardiologists performed echocardiography. In this study, 2117 non-dialysis patients with CKD were examined. 24-h central systolic blood pressure with c2 calibration (24-h c2SBP) demonstrated a stronger association with left ventricular mass index and LVH compared with 24-h brachial systolic blood pressure (24-h bSBP) in the univariate and multivariate regression analyses. The multivariate net reclassification index (NRI) analysis revealed that 24-h c2SBP exhibited greater discriminatory power over 24-h bSBP (NRI = 0.310, 95% CI [0.192-0.429], P < 0.001). Applying 130/135 mmHg as the threshold for 24-h bSBP/c2SBP to cross-classify, the patients were divided into concordant normotension (1509 individuals), isolated brachial hypertension (155 individuals), isolated central hypertension (11 individuals), and concordant hypertension (442 individuals). With concordant normotension as the reference, the multivariable-adjusted ORs were 0.954 (95% CI, 0.534-1.640; P = 0.870) for isolated brachial hypertension and 2.585 (95%CI, 1.841-3.633; P < 0.001) for concordant hypertension. Among non-dialysis patients with CKD, 24-h c2SBP exhibits greater efficacy in identifying the presence of LVH compared with 24-h bSBP. The presence of LVH was greater in cases of concordant hypertension compared with cases of isolated brachial hypertension and concordant normotension.
