Achieving reliable blood pressure measurements in clinical practice: It's time to meet the challenge.
Article in Journal of clinical hypertension (Greenwich, Conn.), 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
A summary of statements for blood pressure (BP) measurement in the evaluation of hypertension in the 21st century by 25 international experts is provided. The status of office, home and ambulatory BP measurement techniques are discussed. Office BP measurement, whether automated (preferred), or otherwise, should only be used as a screening measurement, and diagnostic decisions for the initiation and titration of drug treatment should be based on out-of-office measurements (ambulatory or home). The hardware and software requirements and the adaptations of BP measuring devices to record other cardiovascular functions, such as arrhythmias, and adaptations for smartphone use and for electronic transmission are discussed. Regulatory bodies are urged to make accuracy and performance assessment mandatory before marketing BP measuring devices. The legal implications of manufacturing inaccurate devices are noted.
