Multicenter evaluation of ambulatory blood pressure in children with CAKUT: distinctive profiles in the cystic dysplasia subgroup.

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
backgroundHypertension (HT) is an important risk factor in patients with congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT), independent of the existing anomaly in childhood. This study aimed to investigate masked hypertension and/or blood pressure profiles in different subgroups with a normal glomerular filtration rate (GFR).
methodsThe study included participants from seven different pediatric nephrology centers in Türkiye. Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) was performed on patients aged 5-18 years, diagnosed with CAKUT, with a GFR above 100 ml/min/m
resultsIn total, 118 healthy control data and 322 patients with CAKUT were evaluated, consisting of 73 (22.7%) with agenesis, 79 (24.5%) with cystic dysplasia, 92 (28.6%) with vesicoureteral reflux, 18 (5.6%) with UPJ (ureteropelvic junction) obstruction, and 60 (18.6%) with other conditions. In all CAKUT patients, daytime systolic blood pressure (SBP) and both day and nighttime diastolic blood pressure (DBP) loads were significantly higher compared to the healthy control group (p < 0.05). Nocturnal hypertension was identified in 58 (18%) of 322 children, whereas none of the control group presented hypertension. Children with cystic dysplasia had the highest nighttime hypertension proportions (22.7%) when compared to other subgroups. All data revealed higher total systolic-diastolic SDS and total mean SDS in the cystic dysplasia subgroup (p < 0.05).
conclusionsThe findings underscore the importance of blood pressure monitoring in the follow-up of patients with CAKUT, especially those with cystic dysplasia, even in the absence of GFR decline.
