Prognostic Value of Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring in Patients Admitted With Acute Decompensated Heart Failure: A Prospective Observational Study From a Tertiary Referral Centre.

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 and Objectives: Heart failure (HF) remains a major cause of morbidity and frequent readmissions in India. Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) offers dynamic evaluation of blood pressure (BP) patterns, BP variability and morning blood pressure surge (MBPS) which may provide prognostic value in patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF). Methods: A prospective observational study enrolling 300 patients admitted with ADHF. After stabilization and prior to discharge, all patients underwent ABPM and were categorized based on dipper patterns. Clinical outcomes, including mortality and re-hospitalization at 3 months, were assessed. Survival analyses were performed using Kaplan-Meier curves and multivariable Cox regression. Results: The mean age of the cohort was 60.2 years; 68% were male. Most patients had HF with reduced ejection fraction (84%), and 57% were hypertensive. Dipper patterns were distributed: normal dipper 51%, non-dipper 36%, reverse dipper 11%, and extreme dipper 2%. At 3 months, mortality was 5.3% and re-hospitalization in 44% of patients. Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed increased mortality in reverse dippers, highest average real variability percentile, and low/high MBPS groups (p<0.0001). Multivariable Cox regression identified extreme dipper (hazard ratio [HR], 9.28; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.85-46.49; p=0.007), reverse dipper (HR, 7.53; 95% CI, 2.47-22.10; p=0.01), low systolic BP (HR, 3.70; 95% CI, 1.22-11.22; p=0.02) associated to mortality. Conclusions: ABPM is a practical tool for risk stratification in HF. Abnormal nocturnal BP dipper patterns and increased BP variability were associated with increased adverse short-term outcomes in ADHF. Discharge ABPM may aid early risk stratification, while other circadian BP abnormalities primarily reflect disease severity rather than independent risk.
