Blood pressure patterns in adolescents with premenstrual syndrome: office, home, and ambulatory blood pressure monitoring across the menstrual cycle.

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
backgroundPremenstrual syndrome (PMS) has been associated with dysregulation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), a pathway also implicated in hypertension. Evaluation of blood pressure (BP) patterns in adolescents with PMS may therefore clarify shared neuroendocrine and vascular mechanisms. This study aimed to compare BP profiles in adolescents with and without PMS and to assess phase-specific BP variations across the menstrual cycle.
methodsAdolescents aged 12-18 years with regular menstrual cycles for at least three months were enrolled. PMS was assessed using the Gencdogan Premenstrual Syndrome Scale (PMSS). Office BP measurements (OBPM), 7-day home BP monitoring (HBPM), and 24-h ambulatory BP monitoring (ABPM) were conducted during the follicular and luteal phases.
resultsThe study included 31 adolescents with PMS (mean age 15.61 ± 1.42 years) and 21 without PMS (mean age 14.82 ± 1.40 years). PMS ( +) and PMS ( -) groups were comparable regarding office BP, 7-day HBPM, and 24-h ABPM in both phases. Within the PMS group, 7-day HBPM demonstrated significantly higher morning and mean systolic BP during the luteal phase compared with the follicular phase (p = 0.001 and p = 0.006, respectively). Conversely, 24-h ABPM showed lower 24-h and daytime diastolic BP (p = 0.029 and p = 0.019, respectively) and higher pulse pressure (p = 0.018) during the luteal phase.
conclusionsAdolescents with and without PMS showed broadly similar BP values. However, statistically significant phase-related changes in systolic and diastolic BP were observed within the PMS group, suggesting that menstrual cycle-related physiological variation may influence BP regulation in these adolescents. Larger longitudinal studies are needed to determine the clinical significance and underlying mechanisms of these findings.
