Masked hypertension and non-dipping blood pressure profiles in pediatric survivors of acute kidney injury: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Journal of human hypertension, 2026. 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
Pediatric acute kidney injury (AKI) is increasingly recognized as a condition with long-term chronic consequences, rather than a transient, self-limiting event, carrying an elevated risk of both cardiovascular and renal sequelae. Conventional clinic-based blood pressure measurements may fail to detect subclinical hemodynamic abnormalities, potentially underestimating this burden. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the pooled prevalence of masked hypertension and abnormal nocturnal blood pressure dipping patterns-assessed specifically by 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM)-in pediatric AKI survivors. A systematic search of PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and Web of Science was conducted from database inception to March 2, 2026, without language restrictions. We targeted observational studies tracking children or adolescents with a prior history of AKI who underwent long-term ABPM follow-up. Screening, data extraction, and quality appraisal using the Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Checklist were performed independently by two reviewers. Data were synthesized from six studies capturing a total of 150 pediatric AKI survivors. The pooled prevalence of masked hypertension across five cohorts was 12% (95% CI: 4%-23%), and the pooled prevalence of a non-dipping blood pressure profile across five cohorts was 37% (95% CI: 26%-49%). Sensitivity analyses demonstrated the stability of these estimates. The high prevalence of subclinical blood pressure abnormalities suggests that office-based measurements alone may be insufficient for risk detection. Incorporating ABPM into the post-AKI follow-up of selected pediatric populations may enhance cardiovascular risk stratification and warrants consideration in future clinical guidelines.
