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
Background: Ensuring precise measurement of blood pressure (BP) is crucial for effectively diagnosing and treating hypertension in atrial fibrillation patients. However, the reliability and agreement between the two commonly utilized techniques, oscillometric and auscultatory methods, remain unclear in these individuals. This study seeks to bridge this gap by examining the consistency of BP measurements using these methods in atrial fibrillation patients. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 100 patients with atrial fibrillation and sinus rhythm. BP was measured using both methods (three times with each method): 1) the auscultatory method based on Korotkoff sounds and 2) the oscillometric method. The SPSS version 25 software was used for data analysis. In all steps, Results: The mean systolic blood pressure (SBP) measured by the oscillometric method was 116.38±16.73 mmHg in the sinus group and 127.29±21.51 mmHg in the atrial fibrillation (AF) group. In contrast, the mean by the auscultatory method was 116.18 ±15.46 mmHg in the Sinus rhythm group and 131.07±23.72 mmHg in the AF group (respectively Conclusion: The findings of this study indicated that although there is a significant correlation between oscillometric and auscultatory methods for assessing blood pressure in patients with atrial fibrillation, a significant difference was observed in the measurement of systolic blood pressure.
