Hypertension in Chinese children: prevalence, phenotypes, stages, and associations with healthy lifestyles from a multi-visit study.
Article in Journal of human hypertension, 2026. 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
Accurately estimating childhood hypertension prevalence is challenging due to blood pressure variability and the need for confirmation across multiple measurements. This study assessed prevalence of hypertension status, stages, and phenotypes among Chinese children on three visits and explored their associations with healthy lifestyles. A school-based cross-sectional survey conducted in Pinghu, Zhejiang province, in September 2022 included 2538 children aged 8-14 years. Elevated blood pressure was defined as blood pressure ≥95th percentile for age, sex, and height in a single measurement, while hypertension required confirmation across three occasions. A healthy lifestyle score was developed based on normal weight, ≥60 min/day of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, <2 h/day of screen time, adequate sleep, dietary diversity. Multivariable logistic regression assessed associations between healthy lifestyles and hypertension status, stages (stage 1 and stage 2) and phenotypes (isolated systolic hypertension [ISH], isolated diastolic hypertension [IDH], systolic diastolic hypertension [SDH]). Elevated blood pressure prevalence decreased from 16.9% to 4.4% across visits. Prevalence rates were 3.2% for stage 1 hypertension, 1.2% for stage 2 hypertension, 2.5% for ISH, 0.4% for IDH, and 1.4% for SDH. Each 1-point increase in healthy lifestyle score, the odds of children being hypertension, stage1 hypertension, stage 2 hypertension, ISH, IDH and SDH decreased by 43% (odds ratio 0.57, 95% confidence interval 0.46-0.70), 44% (0.56, 0.44-0.71), 40% (0.60, 0.41-0.86), 39% (0.61, 0.47-0.80), 49% (0.51, 0.27-0.98) and 48% (0.52, 0.36-0.74), respectively. Prevalence of childhood hypertension among those aged 8-14 years in Pinghu was 4.4%. Adherence to multiple healthy lifestyles was associated with hypertension status, stages, and phenotypes.
