Life stage-specific heterogeneity in the effects of adiposity transition on hypertension incidence and resolution.
Article in International journal of obesity (2005), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
objectiveWhether the effects of excess adiposity on the onset and resolution of hypertension and its subtypes differ across different life stages remains unclear. We aimed to explore age-related heterogeneity in the associations of excess adiposity transition with hypertension development and resolution over the life course in Chinese population.
methodsThis dynamic cohort study included 24,104 participants aged 3 to 80 years from the China Health and Nutrition Survey. We calculated the odd ratios (ORs) and confidence intervals (CIs) of excess adiposity at baseline and adiposity status transition during follow-up associated with hypertension using generalized linear mix-effects model.
resultsHigh body mass index (BMI) at baseline showed the strongest association with hypertension incidence in early adulthood (OR 2.29, 95% CI 2.14-2.45), while high waist circumference (WC) showed the strongest association in childhood (OR 3.14, 95% CI 1.75-5.20). Participants transitioning from normal to high BMI/WC had increased hypertension incidence risks across all age groups, with the strongest association observed in the 3-17 year group (BMI, OR = 2.08, 95% CI = 1.42-2.96; WC, OR = 3.41, 95% CI = 2.26-4.97). In comparison, participants transitioning from high BMI/WC to normal BMI/WC had the strongest association in the 3-17 year group for BMI (OR = 4.73, 95% CI = 0.50-57.5) and in the 18-40 year group for WC (OR = 2.52, 95% CI = 1.48-4.44).
conclusionThis study demonstrated life stage-specific heterogeneity in the effects of excess adiposity on hypertension, with individuals in childhood and early life conferring stronger influences. These results underscore the importance of considering age-specific approaches to weight management for hypertension prevention and control.
