1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

BACKGROUND/

objectivesPrevious studies have suggested that serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) is associated with hypertension. However, the effects of age and sex on the relation between serum 25(OH)D and hypertension has not been examined. The present study examined the relationship between serum 25(OH)D and hypertension by age and sex in the general Korean population, considering potential confounders for hypertension. SUBJECTS/

methodsWe conducted a population-based, cross-sectional study. Twenty thousand four hundred and forty adults aged 19 years or older, who participated in the 2009-2012 Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys, were selected for the present study. Hypertension was defined as a systolic blood pressure ⩾ 140 mm Hg, diastolic blood pressure ⩾ 90 mm Hg or current use of antihypertensive medication.

resultsWe found that serum 25(OH)D levels are inversely associated with hypertension in young and middle-aged adults, but not in the elderly population. In young and middle-aged adults, the adjusted odds ratios (ORs) for hypertension tended to decrease according to the quartiles of serum 25(OH)D after adjustment for potential confounders, although it was only significant in women (OR=0.73, 95% confidence interval (CI)=0.58-0.91, P for trend=0.0349). There was no association between serum 25(OH)D concentration and hypertension in elderly subjects of either sex.

conclusionsA higher serum 25(OH)D level was strongly associated with a lower prevalence of hypertension in young and middle-aged Korean women, but not in elderly adults.
