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

To evaluate the effect of morning or evening antihypertensive therapy on heart failure (HF), myocardial infarction, stroke and all-cause death in community resident patients in the TIME and BedMed trials, by study-level meta-analysis. These trials included 24,461 patients, experiencing 248 HFs, 371 myocardial infarctions, 331 strokes and 1,044 all-cause deaths. The pooled hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) between therapy groups were calculated for each event. For HF, myocardial infarction, stroke and all-cause death, the HRs (95%) CIs, P value, for evening versus morning therapy were 0.77 (0.60-0.99), P = 0.04, 1.02 (0.77-1.35), P = 0.91, 0.92 (0.74-1.14), P = 0.43, and 1.02 (0.90-1.14), P = 0.79, respectively. No heterogeneity was found for HF, stroke and all-cause death, and mild heterogeneity was observed for myocardial infarction. In the TIME and BedMed trials, compared to morning therapy, evening therapy was associated with a 23% lower risk of HF, whereas no difference was observed for other outcomes. This analysis of the TIME and BedMed trials evaluating community resident patients shows that, when compared to morning antihypertensive therapy, evening therapy was associated with a 23% lower risk of HF.
