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

This study aimed to investigate the association of combination of birth weight and current body mass index (BMI) with the risk of hypertension in adulthood. This cross-sectional study used data from the Tohoku Medical Megabank Community-based Cohort Study conducted in Japan. A total of 10,688 subjects aged ≥20 years were eligible. We calculated the least square (LS) means of systolic blood pressure (SBP) and trend tests were performed to evaluate the linear relationships between birth weight categories and SBP. We also used a multivariate logistic regression analysis to assess the risk of hypertension associated with the combination of birth weight and current BMI. There was a statistically inverse association between birth weight and SBP in the 20-64 age group, but no significant association in the ≥65 age group. Low birth weight (LBW) with normal BMI group had a higher risk of hypertension than the normal or high birth weight groups with normal BMI. Furthermore, the group with LBW and BMI ≥25.0 kg/m
