Predictors and course of hypertension in Wilms tumour patients: a retrospective observational cohort study.
Observational study in BMJ paediatrics open, 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
introductionWilms tumour is the second most common extracranial solid tumour in paediatric patients. It is frequently associated with hypertension due to renal artery compression and activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. This study aimed to identify predictors of hypertension, assess therapeutic factors and evaluate its impact on renal function.
methodsWe retrospectively analysed 67 patients treated for Wilms tumour following International Society of Paediatric Oncology (SIOP) guidelines at our institution between 2005 and 2024. Clinical records, radiological reports and laboratory data were collected. Statistical analyses were performed to assess the relationship between hypertension, tumour characteristics, treatment and renal function.
resultsHypertension was strongly associated with central tumour localisation (p=0.0003) and younger patient age (p=0.024). Prolonged postoperative antihypertensive therapy correlated with the need for combination therapy before surgery (p=0.01136). Younger age (p=0.02994) and higher hypertension grade (p=0.03884) were linked to the requirement for multidrug antihypertensive therapy. Hypertension at presentation did not affect renal function at the end of follow-up.
conclusionCentral tumour localisation and younger age are significant predictors of hypertension in children with Wilms tumour. The need for combination antihypertensive therapy before surgery predicts prolonged postoperative treatment. These findings underline the importance of early identification and management of hypertension in affected patients.
