The association between tea consumption and hypertension: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

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
Objective: The association between habitual tea consumption and hypertension remains controversial. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to synthesize observational evidence on tea consumption and hypertension and to explore whether this association differed according to tea type, sex, age, region, and hypertension diagnostic threshold. Methods: PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CNKI, Wanfang, and VIP were systematically searched from database inception to December 2025 for observational studies in adults. Studies reporting a distinct hypertension outcome and an extractable effect estimate for tea consumption were eligible. Study quality was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale or AHRQ criteria, as appropriate. The most fully adjusted Results: Twenty studies involving 319,565 participants were included. In 16 cross-sectional studies, tea consumption was weakly associated with lower hypertension prevalence ( Conclusion: Habitual tea consumption was associated with a modestly lower likelihood of hypertension in observational studies. Owing to the observational design and marked inter-study heterogeneity, a definite clinical protective effect cannot be confirmed.
