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

What is already known about this topic?: The prevalence of hypertension in children and adolescents is increasing, which is closely associated with cardiovascular disease risk in adulthood. The Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) has demonstrated effectiveness in reducing blood pressure in adults. However, limited evidence exists regarding its effects among children in China. What is added by this report?: This cross-sectional study found that 15.4% of Chinese children and adolescents aged 7 to 17 years had elevated blood pressure. The median DASH score was 24 [interquartile range (IQR) 21-28]. Students with higher DASH scores demonstrated a lower prevalence of elevated blood pressure compared to those with lower scores. What are the implications for public health practice?: DASH adherence was inversely associated with elevated blood pressure prevalence among students aged 7-17 years in China. Increasing adherence to the DASH dietary pattern could play an effective role in the prevention and management of hypertension among children and adolescents.
