Home Blood Pressure Monitoring in Children and Adolescents: Systematic Review of Evidence on Clinical Utility.
Synthesis in Current hypertension reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purpose of reviewFor the accurate diagnosis and management of hypertension, out-of-office blood pressure evaluation using ambulatory (ABPM) or home monitoring (HBPM) is currently recommended. In children, there is considerable evidence on the clinical utility of ABPM, whereas the evidence on HBPM is limited. This systematic review presents (i) the benefits of HBPM in children; (ii) the evidence on normal range, diagnostic accuracy, and relationship with preclinical organ damage; and (iii) guidance for devices, monitoring schedule, and interpretation. RECENT
findingsHBPM is a useful adjunct to the conventional office measurements for the evaluation of children with suspected or treated hypertension. HBPM is feasible in children and has good reproducibility, diagnostic accuracy and acceptability by users, and relatively low cost. Thus, it has greater potential for widespread and long-term use than ABPM, which is more expensive and often not available or not tolerated. Automated monitors that have been clinically validated specifically in children should be used with appropriate cuff size. HBPM for 7 days (minimum 3) with duplicate morning and evening measurements (minimum 12 readings) should be performed in children with suspected or treated hypertension before each office visit. Until more data become available, in case of diagnostic disagreement between office blood pressure and HBPM, treatment decisions should be based on ABPM. HBPM is clinically useful in children with hypertension. More research is needed on its clinical application, and more automated devices need to be clinically validated in this population.
