Sasang constitution may act as a risk factor for prehypertension.
Article in BMC complementary and alternative medicine, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundPrehypertension (pre-HTN), similar to hypertension, has been associated with an elevated risk of cardiovascular disease. The aim of this study was to determine whether the Sasang constitution (SC) types could also be independent risk factors for pre-HTN.
methodsA total of 2,806 eligible subjects, older than 20 years old from 25 medical clinics, participated. Clinical data, including the blood pressure, age, height, weight, and data from blood tests, were collected. One-way ANOVA with Scheffé's post-hoc analysis and the chi-square test were used, according to the SC and sex. Logistic regression was used to generate the odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence interval (CI) for pre-HTN.
resultsThe pre-HTN prevalence rates of the Soeumin type, Soyangin type and Tae-eumin type were 59.4%, 60.1% and 74.9%, respectively, in men (p < 0.001) and 41.7%, 44.4% and 58.3% in women (p < 0.001). The Soyangin type was not more associated with increased ORs than the Soeumin type in any of the subjects with pre-HTN. Even after adjusting for sex, BMI, FBG, TC, TGs, HDL, and LDL, the Tae-eumin type in men was associated with increased ORs of pre-HTN compared with the Soeumin type (OR 1.57, 95% CI 1.03-2.39), but the Tae-eumin type in women was not associated with pre-HTN.
conclusionsThis study suggested that the Tae-eumin type combined with sex might be significantly and independently associated with pre-HTN, especially high pre-HTN.
