Visceral fat, cardiometabolic risk factors, and nocturnal blood pressure fall in young adults with primary hypertension.
Article in Journal of clinical hypertension (Greenwich, Conn.), 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
The aims of this study were to assess associations of body fat levels and distribution with metabolic profiles and 24-hour blood pressure in young adults with primary hypertension. Visceral fat (VF) was estimated using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. VF was highly significantly associated with a high frequency of overweight/obesity, impaired fasting glucose, increased levels of triglycerides and LDL-cholesterol, and lowered level of HDL-cholesterol. The value of systolic blood pressure (SBP) nocturnal fall was similar between patients receiving RAAS inhibitors, beta-blockers, and calcium channel blockers. In multiple regression, the VF/weight ratio after adjusting for age, gender, total fat, and chronotherapeutic drug delivery was associated with the percentage SBP nocturnal fall (β = -.3108; 95% CI: -0.5923; -0.0980; P = .013). In males, excess VF increased the odds by 2.3 times for non-dipping blood pressure. Our results suggest that in young adult hypertensives, the VF/weight ratio might be associated with non-dipping blood pressure.
