Noise Exposure and Cardiovascular Health in Children: A Review of Current Evidence.
Review in Noise & health. 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
Rapid global urbanisation has increased environmental noise from road traffic, aviation, industry, and community activities, posing a significant public health concern. Children aged 0-18 years are particularly vulnerable to noise exposure due to their immature auditory and cardiovascular systems, high sleep requirements, and limited self-protection capacity, with varying sensitivity across developmental stages (infant, preschool, school-age, and adolescent). Although the association between environmental noise and cardiovascular diseases in adults is well established, evidence in children remains fragmented. Some studies have linked noise exposure to elevated blood pressure, increased obesity risk, and reduced heart rate variability. Underlying pathophysiological mechanisms include activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and sympathetic nervous system, sleep disruption, and induction of vascular oxidative stress and chronic systemic inflammation. Noise and traffic-related air pollutants also have synergistic harmful effects. Current research lacks long-term longitudinal data and has insufficient precision in individualised exposure assessment. Multilevel interventions are needed-individual protection, school/community acoustic modifications, and noise-control policies. This review systematically summarises evidence on noise exposure and paediatric cardiovascular health, elucidates mechanisms, identifies research gaps, and provides a scientific basis for noise prevention strategies to protect this vulnerable population.
