Blood pressure and cardiovascular risk in a contemporary cohort of young adults.
Article in American journal of 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
backgroundPrevious studies suggest that blood pressure (BP) is a stronger risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) in women compared to men. However, few have rigorously investigated this association in young adults with emphasis on sex differences.
methodsIn 2000, the "Oslo Health Study" (HUBRO), recruited 5933 individuals born in 1969 or 1970. By linkage with national health registries in Norway, we followed this cohort through 2024 with respect to CVD events. Multivariate Cox analyses were performed to assess the risk of CVD during follow-up. Sex-specific analyses were performed by interaction testing.
resultsThe median age at baseline was 31 years (interquartile range (IQR): 30-31), and 56% were women. The median systolic and diastolic BP was 122 (IQR 114-130) and 69 (IQR 63-75) mm Hg, respectively. After 24 years of follow-up, 158 (2.7%) CVD events had occurred. The adjusted hazard ratio (HR) (95% confidence interval) for CVD events per 10 mm Hg higher systolic and 5 mm Hg higher diastolic BP was 1.22 (1.04-1.42) and 1.20 (1.09-1.31), respectively. The HR per 10 mm Hg higher systolic BP was 1.30 (1.01-1.68) in women vs 1.15 (0.96-1.38) in men. No statistically significant sex-interaction between systolic BP and risk of CVD event was found (P = .38). The HR per 5 mm Hg higher diastolic BP was 1.20 (1.03-1.41) in women and 1.20 (1.07-1.34) in men.
conclusionsIn young adults from the general population, systolic and diastolic BP were related to the risk of CVD events during long-term follow-up, with similar risk in women and men.
