1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

In obesity, cardiometabolic risk markers show worsening trends with increasing blood pressure (BP). We assumed that risk markers show similar trends across BP categories (normotension, high normal BP, hypertension) in metabolic abnormalities-free subjects (without obesity, insulin resistance, atherogenic dyslipidemia, hyperuricemia, microinflammation) and those presenting them. Data from 2547 (48.1% males) subjects aged 16-23 years were analyzed. The prevalence of males increased across BP categories. Forty-seven percent of individuals with elevated BP were metabolic abnormalities-free. Among 1461 metabolic abnormalities-free subjects, 9% had high normal BP, and 4% hypertension; among 1086 individuals presenting metabolic abnormalities, the prevalence reached 13% and 6%, respectively, (p < 0.001). Both groups displayed similar BP values in corresponding BP categories and significant trends in markers of adiposity, insulin resistance, HDL-cholesterol, atherogenic index of plasma, uric acid, adiponectinemia, and antioxidant capacity of plasma across BP categories. In metabolic abnormalities-free individuals, also significant trends in soluble receptors for advanced glycation end products were revealed. Continuous metabolic syndrome score, a measure of cardiometabolic risk, increased across BP categories regardless of presence or absence of metabolic abnormalities. Multivariate regression models selected male gender, fat-free mass, and uric acid as significant independent predictors for determining BP. Our data emphasize that having a BP outside the normal range significantly worsens risk for cardiometabolic disease in young individuals even if the thresholds for any of the risk factors are not exceeded. Longitudinal studies are needed to assess whether in patients with elevated BP the prognosis of adverse outcomes differs between those presenting and not presenting metabolic abnormalities.
