Extended afternoon naps are associated with hypertension in women but not in men.
Article in Heart & lung : the journal of critical care. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07050303 (The Effect of a Mobile Application Based on the Social Cognitive Learning Theory on Medication Adherence and Hypertension Self-Efficacy in Patients With Hypertension), which is not on this map. Cited by 14 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.

Abstract
backgroundThe impact of afternoon napping duration on the risk of hypertension has not been well established, particularly with regards to sex and age differences.
objectiveTo examine the association between afternoon napping duration and hypertension stratified by sex and age among Chinese adults over 45 years of age.
methodsThe 2011-2012 survey of the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) was used, including 7,980 participants. We conducted logistic regression models in the overall sample, and then stratified by sex and age groups.
resultsMiddle-aged and older women who napped over 90 min were 39% and 54% more likely to have hypertension, respectively; however, the associations were not significant in middle-aged and older men.
conclusionExtended afternoon napping (≥90 min) was associated with hypertension in both the middle-aged women and older women but not in men. Future studies are needed to further examine the association and possible mechanisms.
