Article in Journal of the American Heart Association, 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
backgroundHypertension is a global health issue, and the risk factors include genetics, physical inactivity, and excess body fat (adiposity). Genetic predisposition to adiposity generally increases risk of hypertension. Several genetic variants have been identified to increase adiposity but unexpectedly reduce hypertension (favorable adiposity genes). Here, we tested the effect of these genetic variants on risk of hypertension in European ancestry participants under various scenarios of physical activity and body mass index.
methodsFavorable adiposity genetic liability was estimated using previously identified genetic variants and their effect sizes. The study analyzed data from 210 290 unrelated participants in the UK Biobank. Logistic regression was used to examine the association between this genetic liability and hypertension (defined as systolic blood pressure ≥140 mm Hg, diastolic blood pressure ≥90 mm Hg, or the use of antihypertensive medications). The analyses were conducted separately based on physical activity status (physically active and inactive) within low and high body mass groups.
resultsIndividuals with high body mass, could reduce their risk of hypertension by up to 13% depending on the favorable adiposity genetic liability and physical activity status (
conclusionsThe study provides evidence that the protective effect of favorable adiposity on hypertension risk varies according to body mass composition and physical activity status.
