Prevalence, incidence, awareness and control of hypertension in the province of Quebec: perspective from administrative and survey data.
Article in Canadian journal of public health = Revue canadienne de sante publique, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
objectivesHypertension is a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. Nearly one adult in four was diagnosed with hypertension in 2007-2008 in Canada. One of the objectives of this study was to determine whether the prevalence of hypertension in Quebec as assessed using administrative data is comparable to that specifically measured, especially for the elderly population.
methodsTrends in prevalence, incidence and mortality were examined using the Quebec Integrated Chronic Disease Surveillance System built from grouping numerous administrative databases from 1996-1997 to 2009-2010. Blood pressure measurements, hypertension prevalence, awareness and control were obtained in 1,706 Quebecers in the combined cycles of the Canadian Health Measures Survey.
resultsUsing administrative databases, 23.6% [95% confidence interval, 23.5-23.6] of the Quebec population (n=1,433,400) aged ≥20 years was diagnosed with hypertension in 2009-2010, an increase of 32.1% compared to 2000 2001. The incidence decreased by 27.3%. Among people aged ≥65 years, the prevalence rose to 69.0% [95% CI: 68.8 69.2] in women and 61.7% [95% CI: 61.5-61.9] in men. For people aged 20-79 years, the prevalence of hypertension was lower with the administrative data compared to the survey (20.2% and 23.1%, respectively). The level of awareness, treatment and control were 84.3%, 83.1% and 67.9%, respectively.
conclusionThe prevalence of hypertension derived from administrative data is comparable to that obtained with a health measured survey. Elderly women (≥65 years) are a very high-risk subgroup. The levels of awareness, treatment and control of hypertension in Quebec are very high.
