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

Individuals with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are at elevated risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Emerging research suggests that increased blood pressure variability (BPV) reflects abnormalities in autonomic regulation and may be an early indicator of future CVD risk. PTSD is associated with autonomic dysregulation that is related to PTSD symptoms and is associated with increased risk of CVD; however, BPV in PTSD remains unexplored. We hypothesized that individuals with PTSD would exhibit greater short-term BPV compared with controls and that BPV would correlate with psychological symptoms. Fifty-nine participants (PTSD:
