Sleep Patterns and Blood Pressure Among Chinese Adults in Different Ethnic Groups Across Varied Altitudes.
Article in JACC. Asia, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundUnhealthy sleep behaviors are important risk factors for elevated blood pressure (BP), but evidence is limited for the combined effects of sleep behaviors on BP, especially among different ethnic groups at diverse altitudes.
objectivesWe aimed to investigate the association between combined sleep behaviors and BP among multi-ethnic groups at varied altitudes in China.
methodsThe baseline survey of the Regional Ethnic Cohort Study in Northwest China enrolled more than 100,000 adults 35 to 74 years of age from multi-ethnic groups at varied altitudes in 5 provinces between 2018 and 2019. A healthy sleep score (HSS) was constructed considering 4 sleep behaviors (sleep duration, insomnia, snoring, and excessive daytime sleepiness). Multiple linear or logistic regression models were used to evaluate the associations of sleep factors with systolic BP, diastolic BP, mean arterial pressure, and hypertension.
resultsAmong the 97,476 participants, 34,407 (35.3%) had an HSS of 4 and 6,934 (7.1%) had an HSS of 0-1. Compared with participants with an HSS of 0-1, those with an HSS of 4 had lower systolic BP (β: -4.19; 95% CI: -4.63 to -3.76), diastolic BP (β: -3.13; 95% CI: -3.40 to -2.85), and mean arterial pressure (β: -3.48; 95% CI: -3.78 to -3.18), and reduced odds of hypertension (OR: 0.68; 95% CI: 0.64-0.73). Each additional HSS was associated with 13% lower odds of hypertension (OR: 0.87; 95% CI: 0.86-0.89). The inverse associations appeared to be stronger among the Uygur ethnicity and at low residential altitude.
conclusionsHealthy sleep pattern may decrease BP among different ethnic groups at varied altitudes in Chinese adults.
