Association of nocturnal blood pressure and left ventricular hypertrophy in Iranian hypertensive patients.
Article in American journal of cardiovascular disease, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectivesHypertension is a prevalent risk factor for cardiovascular mortality and morbidity, often leading to left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). As ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) gains prominence in hypertension management, it is crucial to explore its association with LVH occurrence to enhance clinical understanding and treatment strategies. This study aims to investigate the correlation between nocturnal blood pressure patterns and presence of LVH in hypertensive patients, offering insights into optimizing hypertension management strategies.
methodsFifty-four patients with confirmed hypertension were included in this study. All participants underwent transthoracic echocardiography within two days of admission and 48-hour ABPM within one week of admission. Based on the presence of LVH, patients were categorized into LVH and non-LVH groups. Nocturnal systolic/diastolic BP were compared between the two groups using the appropriate statistical tests.
resultsAmong the 54 hypertensive patients, those with LVH (n = 22) demonstrated a significantly higher nocturnal average SBP (124.04 ± 11.92 mmHg) and DBP (76.24 ± 9.76) compared to those without LVH (n = 32, SBP = 116.78 ± 13.92 mmHg, DBP = 72.45 ± 9.76, P < 0.001).
conclusionThis research shows a significant association between nocturnal BP patterns and the presence of LVH in hypertensive individuals. Nocturnal SBP and DBP were identified as independent risk factors for LVH. Further research, particularly on the timing of antihypertensive medication, is warranted to confirm causal relationships and improve management strategies.
