National surveillance definitions for hypertension prevalence and control among adults.
Review in Circulation. Cardiovascular quality and outcomes, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 53 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
backgroundClear and consistent definitions of hypertension and hypertension control are crucial to guide diagnosis, treatment, and surveillance. A variety of surveillance definitions are in frequent use, resulting in variation of reported hypertension prevalence and control, even when based on the same data set. METHODS AND
resultsTo assess the variety of published surveillance definitions and rates, we performed a literature search for studies and reports that used National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES) data from at least as recent as the 2003 to 2004 survey cycle. We identified 19 studies that used various criteria for defining hypertension and hypertension control, as well as different parameters for age adjustment and inclusion of subpopulations. This resulted in variation of reported age-standardized hypertension prevalence from 28.9% to 32.1% and hypertension control from 35.1% to 64%. We then assessed the effects of varying the definitions of hypertension and hypertension control, parameters for age adjustment, and inclusion of subpopulations on NHANES data from both 2007 to 2008 (n=5645) and 2005 to 2008 (n=10 365). We propose standard surveillance definitions and age-adjustment parameters for hypertension and hypertension control. By using our recommended approach with NHANES 2007 to 2008 data, the age-standardized prevalence of hypertension in the United States was 29.8% (SE, 0.62%) and the rate of hypertension control was 45.8% (SE, 4.03%).
conclusionsSurveillance definitions of hypertension and hypertension control vary in the literature. We present standard definitions of hypertension prevalence and control among adults and standard parameters for age-adjustment and population composition that will enable meaningful population comparisons and monitoring of trends.
