The Association Between Sleep Duration and the Risk of Hypertension: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Cohort Studies.

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
backgroundHypertension onset is linked to sleep, but the precise sleep duration affecting it remains unclear. Our goal is to pinpoint the sleep duration impacting hypertension incidence, offering valuable insights for prevention and management.
methodsWe conducted a systematic search in PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, CNKI, Cqvip, and Wanfang Database, up to May 30, 2023, focusing on cohort studies examining the association between nighttime sleep duration and hypertension risk in adults aged 18 and above. Two authors independently performed data extraction, quality assessment, and synthesis based on predefined criteria. A random-effects model was used to estimate pooled effect sizes with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Heterogeneity was quantified using the I
resultsOut of the 173,734 participants included in the meta-analysis, 41,528 eventually developed hypertension. The analysis revealed a correlation between short sleep duration and increased risk of hypertension: 1.07 (95% CI 1.00-1.14) for those sleeping ≤ 7 h, 1.04 (95% CI 1.02-1.07) for 6-7 h, and 1.17 (95% CI 1.06-1.28) for < 6 h. For women, with sleep duration 6-7 and < 6 h, the pooled risk of hypertension incidence was 1.07 (1.02-1.12) and 1.12 (1.06-1.19). In individuals under 60 years of age, an elevated risk of hypertension was observed with sleep durations of less than 6 h and between 6 and 7 h, with pooled risks of 1.24 (95% CI 1.10-1.39) and 1.05 (95% CI 1.00-1.11), respectively.
conclusionsHypertension is significantly correlated with sleep duration under 7 h, especially in women and those under 60, highlighting the importance of sleep management in hypertension prevention and treatment strategies.
