Kiosk blood pressure measurement in Japan: clinical and population application.
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 4 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
Kiosk blood pressure measurement refers to the self-measurement of blood pressure unattended by medical staff using an automated device in workplaces or public spaces, e.g., gymnasiums, shopping malls, or governmental facilities. Kiosk blood pressure devices consist mainly of automated rolling-type sphygmomanometers that are widely used in health check-ups, hospital waiting rooms, pharmacies, and even at home. The distinguished advantage of kiosk blood pressure measurement is that there can be a casual opportunity to self-measure blood pressure, making them suitable for the identification of high blood pressure. We propose to apply the term "kiosk blood pressure measurement" to all kinds of blood pressure self-measurement out-of-home, and to perform kiosk blood pressure measurements as closely as possible, similar to the self-measured home blood pressure condition, since it is a self-measurement and an unattended setting. Although kiosk blood pressure has various challenges, such as device validation, measurement environments, conditions, and long-term maintenance, we should recognize its benefits and encourage people to know their own blood pressure through the kiosk measurement, leading to self-care for their high blood pressure.
