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
The connection between different electrocardiography (ECG) parameters and circadian blood pressure (BP) variations in patients with hypertension (HT) has been investigated. The index of cardio-electrophysiological balance (iCEB), determined as the quotient of the QT interval and the QRS duration, offers an assessment of the comprehensive equilibrium between depolarization and repolarization. This study aimed to explore the relationship between iCEB and circadian BP variability. After applying exclusion criteria, a total of 144 individuals were diagnosed with HT based on the 24 h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) results. Using the results from 24 h ABPM, the study participants were divided into two groups: those with dipper HT and those with non-dipper HT. The iCEB is calculated by dividing the QT interval by the QRS duration (QT/QRS). The iCEB was significantly higher in individuals with non-dipper HT compared to those with dipper HT. (3.88 ± 0.6 vs. 4.38 ± 0.89 respectively, p < 0.001). Univariate logistic regression analysis revealed significant correlations between non-dipper hypertensive pattern and creatinine, frontal QRS-T angle (FQRSTA), and iCEB. As a result of multivariate analysis, iCEB (OR:3.125, 95% CI: 1.595-6.117; p = 0.001) was found to be an independent predictor of non-dipper HT. iCEB optimal cut-off value of > 4.1 predicted non-dipper hypertensive pattern with 67.4% sensitivity and 67.3% specificity. This study indicated that a higher iCEB was linked to non-dipper HT in newly diagnosed hypertensive patients.
