Prevalence, treatment, and control of hypertension in primary care: gaps, trends, and opportunities.
Article in Journal of clinical hypertension (Greenwich, Conn.), 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 papers.
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
Since most cases of hypertension are managed in family practice, estimates of the prevalence, treatment, and control in the primary care population are needed to adequately address the burden of hypertension in Canada as it has in other countries. The authors used a large primary care research database to determine the prevalence of hypertension between 2000 and 2003. Blood pressure recordings were used to estimate the rates of prevalence, treatment, and control of hypertension for the overall population and for important subgroups. The prevalence of hypertension was 17.3%, most patients had untreated hypertension (68.6%), and only 15.8% had blood pressure treated and controlled. Higher rates of treatment and control were observed among older adults, those with type II diabetes, and those with a previous myocardial infarction. Odds of achieving target blood pressure were significantly better when combination therapy vs monotherapy was used. The prevalence of hypertension in primary care is high and most patients remain untreated; however, increased risk appears to lead to better treatment and control.
