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
introductionIncreased arterial stiffness is a sign of vascular damage; therefore, assessing it is crucial for evaluating cardiovascular risk. Arterial stiffness parameters such as pulse wave velocity (PWV) and augmentation index (at heart rate 75 bpm, AIX@75) were shown to correlate directly with blood pressure (BP).
aimSince these parameters may consequently be altered in patients with white coat effect (WCE), this study examined differences in office and 24h measurements of these parameters across various BP phenotypes.
methodsIn this multicenter cross-sectional study, conducted between 2018 and 2023 at three nephrology clinics, office and 24h BP measurements and pulse wave analysis (PWA) of 208 patients were examined.
results189 patients were included; 48 were diagnosed with controlled hypertension (HTN), 63 with uncontrolled HTN, 22 with a masked HTN phenotype, 30 with WCE, of whom 11 had white coat HTN (WCH) and 19 had white coat uncontrolled HTN (WCUH), and 26 had normal BP. By definition, patients with WCE had significantly higher office peripheral and aortic BP than the respective 24h values (p<0.0001 each). Their AIX@75 was significantly higher on office (32.7±11.4%) than on 24h measurement (27.4±7.2%, p=0.0354), and they showed a significantly greater reduction in PWV between office and 24h measurement than normotensives and all other BP phenotypes (p
conclusionsIn patients with WCE, there are significant differences in arterial stiffness parameters between office and 24h measurements, suggesting that both measurement methods provide complementary hemodynamic information. Prospective studies are needed to determine the prognostic significance of these differences.
