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

We investigated in a young Italian obese population, the relationship between ambulatory BP (ABP) and several pathophysiological factors linking obesity to hypertension. A total of 89 obese children and adolescents underwent a 24-h ambulatory BP monitoring (ABPM) and an oral glucose tolerance test. The circulating levels of insulin, lipids, uric acid, C-reactive protein, interleukin-6, renin and aldosterone and the 24-h urinary levels of epinephrine, norepinephrine and albumin excretion rate were measured. Nine percent of subjects had daytime sustained hypertension (SH), 26% night-time hypertension and 11% a non-dipping pattern. SH subjects compared to those with sustained normotension (SN) were more obese (P<0.05), with a more frequent family history of hypertension (P<0.05), higher urinary catecholamine (P<0.05) and heart rate values (P<0.05) after adjustment for standard deviation score (SDS) of body mass index (BMI) and sex. Subjects with night-time hypertension compared to those with night-time normotension were more obese (P<0.0001), with a higher prevalence of impaired glucose tolerance (P<0.05) and metabolic syndrome (P<0.05) and higher 2-h glucose (P<0.05), uric acid (P<0.05) and triglycerides (P<0.05). In multivariate regression analysis, daytime systolic BP (SBP) remained independently correlated with urinary norepinephrine and SDS-BMI (P<0.05 for both), daytime diastolic BP (DBP) with waist circumference (P<0.05) and night-time SBP and DBP with SDS-BMI (P<0.01 for both). The risk of having systolic and diastolic hypertension increased with the increase in SDS-BMI and waist circumference, respectively. In conclusion, in our cohort of obese children and adolescents, daytime and night-time hypertension were associated with activation of the sympathoadrenal system and worst metabolic conditions, respectively.
