Association of ambient temperature and blood pressure in the Jackson Heart Study.
Article in Journal of human hypertension, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Extreme temperature events related to climate change may impact blood pressure (BP). African American populations are disproportionately affected by temperature extremes due to structural inequities. We examined the association between ambient outdoor temperature and BP among participants in JHS, a cohort of African American adults residing in the tri-county area of Jackson, Mississippi. Our primary hypothesis is that daily higher outdoor ambient temperatures would be associated with lower BP. We used a linear-mixed effects model to determine the relationship between temperature and systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP and DBP) at three visits (N = 5296). Participants had BP readings across three visits: Visit 1 (2000-2004), Visit 2 (2005-2008), Visit 3 (2009-2013). Cardiovascular disease (CVD), diabetes, BP medication, sex, age, and visit number were included as adjustment variables. For every 1-degree Celsius higher average temperature from the mean, SBP was 0.11 mm Hg lower (95% CI: -0.14, -0.07, p < 0.001) in adjusted models. Similarly, for every 1-degree Celsius higher average temperature from the mean, DBP was 0.06 mm Hg lower (95% CI: -0.08, -0.04) in adjusted models. The associations were weakly curvilinear (inverted U-shape) with significant quadratic terms. This relationship was not modified by markers of socioeconomic status. This is the first study in the Jackson Heart Study (JHS) to investigate the association between temperature and blood pressure. Further research is needed to explore this relationship in vulnerable populations living in areas prone to extreme temperatures.
