Secular trends in hypertension and elevated blood pressure among Korean children and adolescents in the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2007-2015.
Article in Journal of clinical hypertension (Greenwich, Conn.), 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 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 prevalence of elevated blood pressure (BP) among US children and adolescents has reportedly declined over the past decade. As no Korean data have been analyzed, we aimed to determine recent trends in BP levels among Korean children and adolescents. This study examines data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey segregated into 3 time periods (2007-2009, 2010-2012, and 2013-2015). A total of 7804 Korean children and adolescents aged 10-18 years were included in the analysis. Hypertension (≥95th percentile) and elevated BP (>90th percentile) were defined using the sex-, age-, and height-specific BP standards from 2017 American Academy of Pediatrics guidelines. Mean systolic BP from 2007-2009 to 2013-2015 increased by 3.9 mm Hg, and there was no significant change in diastolic BP. Body mass index (BMI) z-scores significantly increased in the total population from 2007-2009 to 2013-2015. In 2013-2015, the prevalence rates of elevated BP and hypertension were 8.8% and 9.0%, respectively. The prevalence of hypertension in 2013-2015 increased in the total population compared with those in 2007-2009, especially in the obese subgroup, in which the hypertension prevalence was 27.7% in 2013-2015. The prevalence of elevated BP increased during these time period. Associated factors were sex, age, BMI z-score, and survey period for elevated BP; and sex, age, and BMI z-score for hypertension. During our study, mean systolic BP increased, and the prevalence of hypertension in 2013-2015 increased in the pediatric population. A possible influencing factor is obesity, and further long-term data are necessary.
