[Follow-up and monitoring of hypertension. Is this performed the same in the autochthonous and immigrant populations?].
Article in Atencion primaria, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectivesTo evaluate the degree of control of blood pressure (BP) in the autochthonous and immigrant populations and to find the variables linked to good control.
designCross-sectional, observational study.
settingUrban primary care team, Spain.
participantsAll patients with hypertension seen between 1/1/2000 and 1/7/2005 and whose origin was known: 1.063 patients in all, 931 autochthonous and 132 immigrant ones. MAIN MEASUREMENTS: The main variable was hypertension control the last time BP was taken (BP </=140/90 mm Hg and </=130/80 mm Hg in diabetics). In addition, data on country of origin, age, gender, body mass index, cardiovascular risk factors (diabetes, lipaemia, tobacco dependency), further examinations (annual blood analysis and ECG every 2 years) and prescribed medication were recorded. Logistic regression was used to calculate the effect of origin on blood pressure monitoring.
resultsGood BP control was achieved in 39.2% of autochthonous patients and 25% of immigrants (odds ratio [OR], 1.6; 95% confidence interval [CI], 95% CI, 1.2-2.1). Nevertheless, multivariate analysis indicated age (OR, 1.029; 95% CI, 1.017-1.040) as the sole factor determining good or bad BP control.
conclusionsThe origin of the patient does not affect BP control.
