1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundWhether isolated diastolic hypertension (IDH) in young adults represents a benign, age-specific phenotype or confers increased cardiovascular disease risk remains uncertain. We assessed the associations between hypertension subtypes, IDH, isolated systolic hypertension, and systolic-diastolic hypertension, with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and heart failure. We also characterized longitudinal transitions in hypertension subtypes from young adulthood into later life.

methodsAdults aged ≥18 years without cardiovascular disease were included from 4 US cohorts. Hypertension subtypes were defined using blood pressure thresholds of ≥130/80 mm Hg. Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate the associations of hypertension subtypes with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and heart failure.

resultsAmong 23 957 participants (mean age, 44.5 years, 42.5% were young adults aged 18-39 years, 45.1% were male), 2320 atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and 1243 heart failure events occurred over a median follow-up of 17.2 years. Among young adults, the adjusted hazard ratios (95% CI) for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease were 1.36 (95% CI, 1.11-1.68) for IDH, 1.54 (95% CI, 1.02-2.32) for isolated systolic hypertension, and 1.84 (95% CI, 1.46-2.32) for systolic-diastolic hypertension, compared with normotension. Corresponding hazard ratios for heart failure were 1.69 (95% CI, 1.24-2.31) for IDH, 1.92 (95% CI, 1.09-3.40) for isolated systolic hypertension, and 1.69 (95% CI, 1.17-2.43) for systolic-diastolic hypertension. Associations were consistent among adults aged ≥40 years. Among young adults with IDH, 29.8% remained with IDH, whereas 36.5% progressed to systolic-diastolic hypertension later in life.

conclusionsIDH in young adulthood represents an early marker of increased cardiovascular disease risk and a precursor to more adverse hypertension subtypes. These findings underscore the importance of early recognition, ongoing blood pressure monitoring, and guideline-concordant pharmacological treatment, when indicated, among young adults with IDH to reduce long-term cardiovascular disease risk.
