Gender differences in the association between socioeconomic status and hypertension incidence: the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study (KoGES).

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
backgroundHypertension is a leading cause of cardiovascular events. We examined whether there was a gender difference in the association between SES, measured by education and income, and hypertension incidence.
methodsData for 2596 men and 2686 women aged 40-69 years without hypertension at baseline from the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study (KoGES) were analyzed. Participants had two follow-up examinations during 4 years, and were classified into three categories by self-reported educational attainment: ≥ 10 years, 7-9 years, and 0-6 years, and monthly household income (×10,000 Korean Won): ≥ 200, 100-199, and <100. The association between SES and incidence hypertension was examined by Cox's proportional hazard regression analyses.
resultsAdjusting for conventional risk factors, compared with the high education group (reference), the hazard ratios (95% confidence interval) for incident hypertension across the education categories were 1.54 (1.16-2.06) and 1.80 (1.36-2.38) in women and 1.15 (0.92-1.43), and 1.08 (0.84-1.38) in men. Women with the low household income were more likely to have hypertension than those with the high household income and incident hypertension had an inverse association with household income level in women: multivariate adjusted hazard ratios were 1.00 (reference), 1.10 (0.83-1.45), and 1.63 (0.75-2.16). Men with medium income were less likely to have hypertension compared with those with high income (0.76, 0.61-0.90).
conclusionsEducational level and economic status had stronger impacts on hypertension in Korean women than men. Thus, a stratified approach for women of low socioeconomic status, especially those with low educational attainment, is needed for the prevention of hypertension.
