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.

Abstract
Abnormalities in circadian blood pressure (BP) variation have been suggested to be associated with cardiovascular diseases and mortality. Factors affecting this variability need to be clarified to precisely evaluate the risk of circadian BP abnormalities. Given the seasonal differences in casual BP, it was hypothesized that nocturnal BP may also differ by season. Here, we aimed to clarify the seasonality of circadian BP variation, as well as the factors associated with this seasonality, in a large-scale general population (n = 4780). This is a cross-sectional study based on multiday BP values measured in the evening, during sleep, and in the morning. Measurements were taken at home using an automatic cuff-oscillometric device. The sleeping period was objectively defined by actigraphy. The nocturnal systolic BP fall was significantly less in individuals whose BP was measured during the summer season (summer, -5.8 ± 7.8%; middle (spring or autumn), -8.2 ± 7.5%; winter, -11.0 ± 7.7%; p < 0.001), resulting in higher frequencies of riser (summer, 19.9; middle, 12.8; winter, 7.8%) and non-dipper (summer, 51.4; middle, 46.3; winter, 37.0%) patterns in the summer season (p < 0.001). The results of linear regression analysis identified the middle (β = 0.154, p < 0.001) and summer season (β = 0.261, p < 0.001) as strong positive determinants for decreasing the nocturnal SBP fall. No seasonality was observed in day-to-day variability of the dipping pattern (Kendall's coefficient: winter, 0.527; middle, 0.539; summer, 0.515). The nocturnal BP fall was largely different by season, with a higher frequency of riser and non-dipper patterns in the summer. The seasonality might not be due to the seasonal difference in day-to-day variability of nocturnal BP changes.
