The constant mean differences (placebo-ARB) with 95% confidence interval were 6.2(0.5–11)mmHg; <i>P</i> = 0.03 (Δ(PostHD-PreHD)Systolic BP) and 3.0(0.1–6.0)mmHg; <i>P</i> = 0.04 (Δ(PostHD-PreHD)Diastolic BP). Note that Fig 2A shows all predialytic BP values recorded between baseline and 12 months, whereas the <i>P</i>-values given in 2A were based on values obtained at baseline, 1 week, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, and 12 months, respectively from multivariate repeated meaurements analysis (xtmixed). Mean values from these time points are given in <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0126882#pone.0126882.t002" target="_blank">Table 2</a>.
