Ambulatory blood pressure profiles of children with asthma compared to healthy controls.
Article in Pediatric nephrology (Berlin, Germany), 2025. 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
backgroundStudies suggest that asthma and hypertension may be comorbid conditions. Most of these studies are epidemiological research. However, data on the relationship between asthma and hypertension in childhood are limited. We aimed to evaluate ambulatory blood pressure profiles of children with asthma.
methodsChildren aged 5-18 with asthma were evaluated using ABPM. The control group included healthy age- and sex-matched volunteers. A total of 26 patients with asthma and 20 controls were enrolled.
resultsChildren with asthma had higher mean 24-h systolic blood pressure (SBP) SDS (standard deviation score) compared to controls (mean difference: 0.84, 0.19 ± 1.14 vs. - 0.65 ± 1.09, p = 0.015). Daytime SBP SDS was higher in those with asthma (mean difference: 0.83, 0.009 ± 1.22 vs. - 0.82 ± 1.09, p = 0.021), as was nighttime SBP SDS (mean difference: 0.74, 0.64 ± 1.09 vs. - 0.10 ± 0.79, p = 0.013). Median nighttime SBP load was higher in those with asthma (p = 0.006). Nondipping status was found in 23.1% of patients with asthma (none in controls, p = 0.021). One patient (3.8%) had ambulatory hypertension and six (23.1%) had masked hypertension (none in controls, p = 0.042). Extended use of inhaled corticosteroids was associated with a 2% increase in the odds of developing hypertension (OR 1.02, p = 0.025).
conclusionsChildren with asthma may be at greater risk for developing hypertension compared to healthy counterparts. Ambulatory blood pressure tends to be higher in children with asthma than healthy peers. Inhaled steroids potentially contribute to elevated BP levels in children with asthma.
