Secondary Hypertension in Children-Identifying and Investigating at Risk Children.
Review in Current hypertension reports, 2025. 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
purpose of reviewWe aim to review the most recent literature on demographic features and diagnostic workup of children with secondary hypertension, in order to provide a framework for health providers to determine which hypertensive pediatric patients warrant further investigation for secondary causes. By highlighting the utility of various diagnostic investigations, we aim to minimize unnecessary testing burden. RECENT
findingsA recent meta-analysis revealed that hypertensive children and adolescents with any of the following features were at increased risk of secondary hypertension: < 6 years of age, history of prematurity, family history of secondary hypertension, body mass index (BMI) < 10th percentile. Based on available evidence, we suggest a testing schema that is stratified by both age and BMI. Limited evidence suggest renal ultrasound may be one of the most useful initial investigations for secondary causes in asymptomatic hypertensive children. Lipid profile in overweight/obese children, and echocardiogram for end organ involvement may have high yield of abnormal results. Further studies on the diagnostic utility of tests for secondary hypertension are required, as the current body of evidence is limited.
