Association of Preconception Blood Pressure with the Risk of Anemia in Children under Five Years of Age: A Large Longitudinal Chinese Birth Cohort.

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
Hypertension during pregnancy may increase the risk of anemia in the offspring. However, few studies have investigated the effects of elevated blood pressure during the preconception period on childhood anemia. This large population-based birth cohort study was performed to determine whether abnormal preconception blood pressure has long-term consequences for childhood health. Data were obtained from the China-US Collaborative Project for Neural Tube Defect Prevention. The study consisted of 40,638 women with singleton live births who were registered in a monitoring system before pregnancy in southern China during the period 1993-1996. Children were assessed by hemoglobin measurement at approximately 53 months of age. The incidences of childhood anemia were 19.80% in the hypertension group and 16.07% in the non-hypertension group. Compared with the non-hypertension group, the hypertension group had an increased risk of childhood anemia (adjusted risk ratio (RR): 1.25; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.11-1.41). After categorization according to blood pressure, combined systolic and diastolic hypertension was associated with a significantly increased risk of childhood anemia, compared with normotension (adjusted RR: 1.37; 95% CI: 1.16-1.63). Compared with women who had normal blood pressure, the adjusted RRs for childhood anemia were 1.20 (95% CI: 1.13-1.28), 1.26 (95% CI: 1.08-1.47), and 1.38 (95% CI: 1.14-1.67) among women with prehypertension, stage-1 hypertension, and stage-2 hypertension, respectively. Our results suggest a linear association between prepregnancy hypertension and the risk of childhood anemia in the Chinese population. Interventions targeting preconception blood pressure may have a positive effect on childhood health.
