Sex differences in the relationship between obesity and hypertension in Japan: a large population-based cross-sectional study.
Article in Hypertension research : official journal of the Japanese Society of Hypertension, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
We examined the effect of sex on the relationship between obesity and hypertension among Japanese people, who generally have a lower prevalence of obesity than Westerners. We analyzed the results of specific health checkups for Japanese aged 40-74 years (688,306 men and 891,191 women) obtained in 2011. The participants were divided into four age groups (40-49, 50-59, 60-69, and 70-74 years) and five body mass index (BMI) categories (≤ 24.9 [non-overweight/obesity], 25.0-26.9 and 27.0-29.9 [overweight], 30.0-34.9 and ≥ 35.0 kg/m
