Oscillometric blood pressure values in infants at 3, 6 and 12 months of age: a cohort study.
Article in BMJ paediatrics open, 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
objectiveTo determine reference blood pressure (BP) values in a cohort of healthy infants at 3, 6 and 12 months of age.
designAn antenatally recruited population-based mother-child cohort study.
settingThe multicentre Preventing Atopic Dermatitis and ALLergies in children study, recruiting non-selected pregnant women in Norway and Sweden between 2014 and 2016. Infant oscillometric BP was measured at clinical follow-up visits at 3, 6 and 12 months of age. PATIENTS: In total, 2100 infants had BP readings available during infancy.
main outcome measuresSystolic, diastolic and mean arterial BP at each follow-up visit based on successful BP measurements defined as three readings obtained in a calm state with systolic BP within a 20 mm Hg range.
resultsSuccessful BP measurements were obtained in 1778 infants at 3, 6 and/or 12 months of age. Median systolic/diastolic BP (mean arterial pressure) was 95/56 (69) mm Hg at age 3 months, 96/57 (72) mm Hg at 6 months and 95/57 (71) mm Hg at 12 months.
conclusionsThis study establishes reference values for oscillometric BP in healthy infants and shows consistent measurements across 3, 6 and 12 months of age.
