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

Visit-to-visit variability of blood pressure (VVV of BP) is gaining interest as a prognostic marker for stroke, cardiovascular disease, and all-cause mortality. In this review, we discuss different metrics used to define VVV of BP, explore the potential sources of this phenomenon including patient characteristics and antihypertensive medication classes, and discuss recent evidence of its relation with cardiovascular outcomes. Current evidence relies on secondary analyses of clinical trials or on observational studies, none of which was designed to examine VVV of BP specifically. More research is required to develop standardized definitions of VVV of BP, to confirm the value of VVV as a prognostic indicator, and to ascertain whether efforts to reduce VVV of BP in addition to mean BP will improve outcomes.
