Blood Pressure Reactivity to the Cold Pressor Test Predicts Hypertension Among Chinese Adults: The GenSalt Study.
Article in American journal of hypertension, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
backgroundBlood pressure (BP) hyper-reactivity to the cold pressor test (CPT) has been suggested as a predictor of hypertension. We examined whether BP reactivity to the CPT was associated with hypertension incidence among the Genetic Epidemiology Network of Salt Sensitivity (GenSalt) study participants from China.
methodsA total of 1,961 GenSalt study participants without any antihypertensive treatment completed the CPT at the baseline examination. Hypertension status was assessed at baseline (2003-2005) and 2 follow-up visits (2008-2009 and 2011-2012).
resultsAfter adjustment for multiple covariates, both systolic BP (SBP) and diastolic BP reactivity to the CPT were significantly associated with hypertension incidence. For example, the multivariable adjusted odds ratios (ORs, 95% CI) of developing hypertension were 0.92 (0.66, 1.29), 1.42 (1.03, 1.97), and 1.45 (1.05, 2.00) for participants with maximum SBP responses of 6.7-12.0, 12.1-19.2, and ≥19.3mm Hg, respectively, compared to those with responses of <6.7mm Hg (P for trend = 0.006). Likewise, the multivariable-adjusted ORs (95% CI) of hypertension were 1.12 (0.79, 1.57), 1.62 (1.15, 2.29), and 1.82 (1.30, 2.55) for participants with the area under the curve of SBP responses of 3.0-16.0, 16.1-29.9, and ≥ 30.0mm Hg·min, respectively, compared to those with responses of < 3.0mm Hg·min (P for trend = 0.0001). The associations between BP reactivity variables and the risk of hypertension were not different among subgroups of sex, age, and baseline BP levels.
conclusionsBP hyperreactivity to the cold stimulus may predict the risk of hypertension among Chinese adults.
