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

This cross-sectional observational study investigates the relationship between lifestyle habits and blood pressure in 244 Japanese high school students from Kogakukan High School. The mean blood pressure was 119.5 ± 11.3/71.3 ± 9.5 mmHg, with 9% of participants meeting the criteria for hypertension (≥ 140/85 mmHg). Hypertensive students had a shorter sleep duration than non-hypertensive students (P = 0.050). Multivariate analysis revealed that systolic blood pressure was significantly associated with male sex (β = -0.274, P < 0.001) and higher body mass index (β = 0.261, P < 0.001). Diastolic blood pressure was significantly influenced by female sex (β = 0.166, P < 0.001) and sugar intake (β = 0.152, P = 0.028). No significant associations were found with salt score, caffeine consumption, or aerobic exercise. These findings highlight the influence of sex, body mass index, dietary sugar, and sleep duration on adolescent blood pressure regulation, emphasizing the need for early lifestyle interventions to mitigate hypertension risk. Relationship between Lifestyle and Blood Pressure Levels in Japanese High School Students. Hypertensive students had shorter sleep durations; systolic blood pressure levels were associated with BMI and male sex, and diastolic blood pressure levels were linked to sugar intake and female sex. BMI, body mass index; HT, hypertension.
