Prevalence of and factors influencing elevated blood pressure among Chinese adolescents: a cross-sectional study.

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
objectiveThis study aims to examine the prevalence of elevated blood pressure (BP) among adolescents aged 13-17 years in Shiyan city, Hubei province, China. Additionally, it analyses the distribution characteristics and potential factors influencing elevated BP, providing a scientific foundation for the prevention and management of hypertension in adolescents.
designCross-sectional study.
settingA total of 11 schools in central China.
participantsFrom October 2023 to January 2024, a cross-sectional study involving 8534 students aged 13-17 years from 11 schools in central China was conducted. Convenience sampling was used to select participants, and data were collected through questionnaires and medical physical examinations. PRIMARY OUTCOME MEASURES: This study used physiological measurement to assess BP levels, while questionnaire surveys and anthropometric measurements were employed to identify associated factors.
resultsThe overall detection rate of elevated BP was 22.7% (20.2% for boys and 25.6% for girls). Increased body mass index (BMI) (OR: 1.026, 95% CI: 1.003 to 1.048), neck circumference (OR: 1.099, 95% CI: 1.073 to 1.126) and chest circumference (OR: 1.015, 95% CI: 1.007 to 1.023) were associated with an increased risk of elevated BP. Conversely, longer screen time was linked to a lower risk of elevated BP (OR: 0.961, 95% CI: 0.942 to 0.98). Girls (OR: 1.592, 95% CI: 1.419 to 1.787) were at higher risk than boys. Additionally, not consuming meat or poultry (OR: 2.029, 95% CI: 1.171 to 3.514) was identified as a risk factor for elevated BP.
conclusionThe distribution of elevated BP among adolescents exhibited population heterogeneity. Elevated BP was found to be associated with higher BMI, neck circumference and chest circumference, as well as the absence of meat consumption. Additionally, targeted attention to girls is essential for preventing elevated BP.
