Automated Office Blood Pressure Measurements in Waiting Room or Isolated Room for Diagnosis and Phenotyping of Hypertension.
Observational study in Journal of the American Heart Association, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06198855 (Automated Measurement of Blood Pressure in Waiting Appointment Versus 24-h Ambulatory Measurements), which is not on this map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.

Abstract
backgroundAutomatic office blood pressure measurement (AOBPM) in the waiting room could improve the performance of diagnosing hypertension without requiring an isolated room to carry out exploration.
methodsIn a cross-sectional study, we compared the performance to diagnose and phenotyping hypertension by 3 methods of blood pressure measurements, standard office blood pressure, unattended AOBPM in an isolated room or in an office waiting room AOBPM, compared with daytime ambulatory blood pressure measurement (daytime ambulatory blood pressure monitoring) from a 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring as a reference. The cutoff values for hypertension and validation for waiting room or isolated room AOBPM were performed by receiver operating characteristic curves and Bland-Altman plots compared with daytime ambulatory blood pressure monitoring.
resultsOut of the 548 participants recruited, 349 (64%) had hypertension, while 199 (36%) were being studied for a diagnosis of hypertension. Waiting room AOBPM and unattended AOBPM stratified hypertension status in a comparable way (n=398; 73% [95% CI, 69%-76%; and n=417; 75% [95% CI, 72%-79%] participants, respectively), and both methods stratified better hypertension status than standard office blood pressure measurement did (n=338; 62% [95% CI, 57%-65%]). Overall, the diagnostic accuracy for white coat syndrome was better for waiting room AOBPM, while for masked hypertension it was by unattended AOBPM (80% [95% CI, 77%-83%] versus 87% [95% CI, 83%-89%] and 88% 95% CI, 85%-90%] versus 73% [95% CI, 69%-76%], respectively).
conclusionsTo assess hypertension status, waiting room AOBPM is equivalent to unattended AOBPM in an isolated room and both better than standard office blood pressure measurement. The detection of hypertension phenotypes differs depending on the site of the measurement, waiting room or isolated room.
