Presence of physical symptoms in healthy adolescence found to be associated with female gender, obesity, tachycardia, diastolic hypertension and smoking.
Article in American journal of cardiovascular disease, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThe goal of this study was to evaluate any association between physical symptoms and abnormal clinical history in adolescence undergoing screening echocardiography performed by Anthony Bates Foundation.
methodThe Anthony Bates Foundation has been performing screening echocardiography across the United States for the prevention of sudden death since 2001. We performed uni- and multivariate analysis to evaluate any association between physical symptoms with gender, smoking, obesity, heart rate, and hypertension.
resultsWe found a strong association between symptoms and the female gender (33% vs. 17.5% of males, P < 0.001). Furthermore, obesity (46.5% vs. 22.5%, P < 0.001), smoking (46.2% vs. 22.5%, P = 0.04), heart rate > 90 (34.8 vs. 22.8%, P = 0.001), and diastolic blood pressure > 90 (34.9% vs. 23.4%, P = 0.03) were all associated with symptoms. Increased systolic pressure was not associated with physical symptoms (24.3% vs. 21.9%, P = 0.4). Using multivariate analysis, female gender, diastolic blood pressure and obesity remained independently associated with physical symptoms. (Female gender: OR: 2.2, CI: 1.7-2.9, P < 0.001, obesity: OR: 2.5, CI 1.2-5.05, P = 0.009, and high diastolic blood pressure: OR: 2.08, CI 1.1-3.7, P = 0.01).
conclusionPhysical symptoms are associated with smoking, female gender, obesity, tachycardia, and high diastolic blood pressure but not systolic pressure in adolescence undergoing routine screening echocardiography.
