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
The present study evaluated the simplicity and accuracy of a new modified blood pressure-to-height ratio (MBPHR3) in identifying hypertension among Han children aged 7-12 years. In 2011, anthropometric measurements were collected as part of a cross-sectional population-based study of 1352 Han children aged 7-12 years. Receiver operating characteristic curve analyses were performed to assess the accuracy of the modified systolic blood pressure-to-height ratio (MSBPHR3) and the modified diastolic blood pressure-to-height ratio (MDBPHR3) as diagnostic tests for the detection of elevated SBP and DBP, respectively. The accuracies of MSBPHR3 and MDBPHR3 (as assessed by the area under the curve) in identifying elevated SBP and DBP were greater than 0.85 (0.974-0.995). When the MBPHR3 was used to identify hypertensive children, the sensitivity was 100% in boys and 100% in girls. The specificity was 93.8% in boys and 97.1% in girls. In conclusion, the MBPHR3 is a simple, accurate and non-age-dependent index for the screening of hypertension in Han children.
