Validity of Self-Report Data in Hypertension Research: Findings From The Study on Global Ageing and Adult Health.
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 17 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Several studies indicate little congruence between self-report and biometric data, yet very few have examined the reasons for such differences. This paper contributes to the limited but growing body of literature that tracks inconsistent reports of hypertension using data from the Study on Global Ageing and Adult Health (SAGE). Focusing on five countries with different levels of development (Ghana, China, India, South Africa, and Russia), this study offers a comparative perspective that is missing in the literature. Data were obtained from wave 1 of SAGE collected in 2007/2008. A multinomial logit model was used to examine the effects of demographic and socioeconomic variables on the likelihood of respondents self-reporting that they are not hypertensive when their biometric data show otherwise. The authors also model the likelihood of respondents self-reporting that they are hypertensive when in fact their biometric data show they are not. Socioeconomic and demographic variables were shown to be significantly associated with inconsistent reporting of hypertension. For instance, it was observed that wealth was associated with a lower likelihood of self-reporting that one is not hypertensive when their biometric data indicate otherwise. Tracking such inconsistent reports is crucial to minimizing measurement errors and generating unbiased and more precise parameter estimates in hypertension research.
