Review in Current hypertension reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

purpose of reviewThis review aims to inform the reader of the complexity of blood pressure responses when comparing blood pressure measured in the medical environment to that outside the medical environment. In addition, we summarize what is known about current predictors of white coat hypertension, reevaluate the relationship of white coat hypertension to cardiovascular outcomes, and provide some clinical guidance on management. RECENT

findingsDifferences in outcomes exist when white coat effect occurs in unmedicated people versus the white coat effects in those on antihypertensive therapy. White coat hypertension is relatively common, carries a small but definite increase in cardiovascular risk, and is prone to conversion to sustained hypertension. Future research will hopefully tease out the roles of ancillary findings that characterize a white coat hypertensive (like modest elevations in creatinine, glucose and triglycerides) in the elevated cardiovascular risk, and test the effectiveness of mitigation strategies in these patients.
