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

Home blood pressure (BP) measurement is widely used, and home BP plays a central role in hypertension management in clinical practice in Japan. We updated the systematic review to determine whether home BP-based antihypertensive treatment is superior to office BP-based treatment in improving clinical outcomes, including BP levels, in adult patients with essential hypertension. A literature search identified 14 randomized controlled trials (RCTs). The results of meta-analysis revealed that home BP-based antihypertensive treatment was significantly associated with greater reductions in ambulatory systolic BP by 2.73 mmHg (95% confidence interval [CI], -5.23 to -2.22 mmHg; p = 0.03) and ambulatory diastolic BP by 1.61 mmHg (95% CI, -3.21 to -0.01 mmHg; p = 0.05) compared to office BP-based treatment. No RCTs evaluating cardiovascular outcomes other than ambulatory BP reduction were identified. Consistent with the previous review, this updated meta-analysis revealed home BP-based antihypertensive treatment is strongly recommended over office BP-based treatment for BP control in patients with essential hypertension.
