Height May Explain Sex Differences in Systolic Blood Pressure in Older Adults.
Article in Hypertension (Dallas, Tex. : 1979), 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
backgroundDifferences in height may contribute to higher systolic blood pressure values and lower hypertension control rates in older women than men.
methodsNational Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys cross-sectional data from 2005 to 2006 through 2017 to 2020 were analyzed on women (n=1682) and men (n=1468), aged ≥75 years with hypertension (systolic blood pressure ≥140 mm Hg or diastolic blood pressure ≥90 mm Hg or antihypertensive pharmacotherapy). The association of height and sociobiological variables (body mass index, education, income, chronic kidney disease, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, statin therapy) with sex differences in systolic blood pressure was assessed by multivariable linear regression, and their association with hypertension control was assessed by multivariable logistic regression. Data are presented as mean (95% CI).
resultsSystolic blood pressure was higher in older women than men (145.8 mm Hg [144.5-147.1] versus 139.3 mm Hg [138.1-140.6];
conclusionsShorter stature in older women than men is associated with higher systolic blood pressure and lesser hypertension control.
