Association of hypertension and hyperglycaemia with socioeconomic contexts in resource-poor settings: the Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey.
Article in International journal of epidemiology, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 31 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
backgroundCardiovascular diseases and risk factors are disproportionally concentrated among the socioeconomically disadvantaged in high-income countries; however, this relationship is not well-understood or documented in resource-limited countries.
methodsWe analysed data from the 2011 Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey to estimate age-, sex- and location-adjusted differences in blood pressure and blood glucose outcomes by categories of a standardized wealth index and education levels. Body mass index (BMI) was examined as a secondary outcome and also assessed as a potential confounder.
resultsThere was strong evidence that the prevalence of hypertension was higher among Bangladeshi women than among men (33.6% vs 19.6%, P < 0.001), whereas the overall prevalence of hyperglycaemia was 7.1% with no evidence of sex differences. The likelihood of having hypertension was more than double for individuals in the highest vs lowest wealth quintile [odds ratio (OR) for men: 2.82, 95% confidence interval (CI): 2.32-3.44; OR for women: 2.25, 95% CI: 1.90-2.67], and for individuals with the highest level of education attained vs those with no education (OR for men: 2.55, 95% CI: 2.06-3.16; OR for women: 1.42, 95% CI: 0.99-2.03). Likewise, the likelihood of having hyperglycaemia was more than four times higher in the wealthiest compared with the poorest individuals (OR for men: 6.48, 95% CI: 5.11-8.22; OR for women: 4.77, 95% CI: 3.72-6.12), and in individuals with the highest level of education attained vs those with no education (OR for men: 4.68, 95% CI: 3.56-6.15; OR for women: 5.02, 95% CI: 3.30-7.64). There were no appreciable differences in these trends when stratified by geographical location. BMI did not attenuate these associations and exhibited similarly positive associations with education and wealth.
conclusionsIncreasing levels of wealth and educational attainment were associated with an increased likelihood of having hypertension and hyperglycaemia in Bangladesh.
