Identification and evaluation of risk factors in patients with continuously uncontrolled hypertension.
Article in Journal of clinical hypertension (Greenwich, Conn.), 2015. 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
An aggressive strategy to manage hypertension in a large integrated healthcare organization achieved blood pressure control in 82% of hypertensive patients, as compared with 52% nationwide. It is unknown why the remaining 18% is uncontrolled. The objective of this study was to identify characteristics associated with patients whose blood pressure remains continuously uncontrolled. This nested case-control study included 1583 continuously uncontrolled cases and 7901 matched controls. Univariate analysis revealed patients who visited their primary care provider frequently (odds ratio, 0.42; 95% confidence interval, 0.39-0.46) were adherent to antihypertensive medications (odds ratio, 0.12; 95% confidence interval, 0.10-0.14), and dispensed more medications (odds ratio, 0.86; 95% confidence interval, 0.85-0.87) were less likely to be continuously uncontrolled. Patient characteristics that were associated with continuously uncontrolled hypertension were the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 score and higher body mass index. Since patients with controlled hypertension visited their provider more often, patients with continuously uncontrolled hypertension may benefit from more interaction with their healthcare system.
