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

Progression towards elevated blood pressure (BP) may begin as early as adolescence. In low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), consumption of ultra-processed foods (UPFs), which are linked to poor cardiometabolic health, is often highest in adolescence. We examined sex- and age-specific associations of systolic and diastolic BP (SBP and DBP) with concurrent and lagged UPF intake from age 15 to 25 in a Filipino cohort. We used data from the 1998-2009 waves of the Cebu Longitudinal Health and Nutrition Survey (
