Post-transplant hypertension in pediatric kidney transplant recipients.
Article in Pediatric nephrology (Berlin, Germany), 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers.
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
backgroundThe aim of the study was to investigate the prevalence of post-transplant hypertension (HT) and to assess the blood pressure (BP) of transplanted children with possible risk factors.
methodsOffice and ambulatory blood pressure measurements were performed for each patient.
resultsTwenty-nine patients were included in the study, including 13 patients with newly diagnosed untreated HT according to the results of ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM). Fourteen patients were on antihypertensive medication, but only in five of these patients was the HT under control; nine patients receiving antihypertensive drugs had uncontrolled HT. Of the 29 patients, two had normotension without any antihypertensive drug(s). Standard deviation scores (SDS) of the nocturnal diastolic BP of the ABPM were positively correlated with the prednisolone dosage per kilogram (p = 0.013, r = 0.45) and negatively correlated with the time period after transplantation (p = 0.024, r = -0.41). Similarly, the SDS of the 24-h diastolic BP was positively correlated with the prednisolone dosage per kilogram (p = 0.006, r = 0.50) and negatively correlated with the time period after transplantation (p = 0.016, r = -0.44). Patients with alternate-day steroid treatment had lower nocturnal systolic (p = 0.016), nocturnal diastolic (p = 0.001) and 24-h diastolic (p = 0.008) SDS when compared to those receiving daily steroid medication.
conclusionThe prevalence of HT among children after renal transplantation was high among our patient cohort, and steroids had direct impact on nocturnal and diastolic BP.
