Evaluation of school achievements in adolescents with primary hypertension.

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
objectivePrimary hypertension (HT) is a global public health problem with increasing prevalence in recent years. HT may have caused decreased neurocognitive functions and learning difficulties. In this study, clinical characteristics of adolescents with primary HT were examined and the relationship between semester grade point average (GPA) and HT was evaluated.
methodsThis is an observational, cross-sectional, descriptive study conducted on adolescents with primary HT attending high school. Patient records (number of hospital visits, HT-related complaints, blood pressure measurements, and laboratory tests) were evaluated retrospectively. End-of-semester report card grades of Mathematics, Turkish Language and Literature and English courses were noted, and compared with the clinical characteristics of the patients.
resultsThe study included 83 patients with a mean age of 15.6±1.2 years. Patients with higher body mass index had lower grades in Mathematics (p=0.007) and Turkish Language and Literature (p=0.004). Patients with HT-related symptoms such as headache, epistaxis and palpitations had lower GPAs for all courses. Also, patients with hyperuricemia or proteinuria had lower semester GPAs compared to patients with normal serum uric acid levels or without proteinuria (p<0.05). GPAs for Mathematics (p=0.000) and Turkish Language and Literature (p=0.006) decrease as the number of hospital visits increases.
conclusionHT may cause not only cardiovascular complications but also decreased neurocognitive functions through various mechanisms and may have a negative impact on academic skills. Therefore, HT should be followed up with a multidisciplinary approach and intensive efforts should be made to approach the goal of normotension.
