Hypertension and Diabetes Prevalence in Older Persons in Jamaica, 2012.
Article in The West Indian medical journal, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
The Jamaican population is experiencing both a demographic and epidemiological transition. This 2012 study of 2943 community dwelling persons over sixty years of age sought to determine the prevalence of hypertension and diabetes and how it has increased since the earlier 1989 study. Hypertension was the most prevalent non-communicable disease with 61.4% and had increased from 41.4% since 1989. It increased with age and was more common in females than males. Diabetes, at 26.3%, was the third most prevalent; it had increased by 157.1% since 1989. While the majority of affected persons were on medication, control of both diseases was less than adequate. Obesity was associated with both diseases. The paper discusses the implications for healthcare systems.
