Untreated hypertension: prevalence and patient factors and beliefs associated with under-treatment in a population sample.
Article in Journal of human hypertension, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Identifying barriers to hypertension management may facilitate cardiovascular risk reduction. Therefore, our objective, was to determine the prevalence of hypertension not managed with medication ('untreated') in a representative adult sample and identify patient factors/beliefs, and aspects of the patient-general practitioner (GP) relationship associated with untreated hypertension. The North West Adelaide Health Study, a biomedical cohort study over three stages from 2000-2009, assesses hypertension (systolic > or =140 mm Hg and/or > or =90 mm Hg or current treatment with anti-hypertensive medication), chronic disease and associated risk factors and health-care experiences, including risk perception, decision-making preferences, GP/primary care provider affiliation and satisfaction with care (n=2425). The prevalence of hypertension was 32.1% (n=781) comprised of treated (19.0%, n=462) and untreated (13.1%, n=319) hypertension. Thus, 40.8% of hypertension was untreated. Among hypertensive subjects, non-treatment was significantly associated with male sex, age <45 years, workforce participation, infrequent GP visits, dissatisfaction with recent medical care, high total cholesterol, moderate-level physical activity and lower body weights. Compared with participants without hypertension (and no treatment), untreated subjects demonstrated significant (15%) 10-year Framingham general cardiovascular risk (odds ratio=6.44, 95% confidence interval=4.52-9.17). Novel screening strategies and public health messages to address beliefs and perceptions of both patients and the health system are required to identify untreated, at-risk hypertensive individuals.
