Achieving Weight Loss and Hypertension Control Among Obese Adults: A US Multidisciplinary Group Practice Observational Study.
Observational study in American journal of hypertension, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
backgroundAmong adults with hypertension, obesity independently contributes to cardiovascular disease. Weight loss and hypertension control are critical to reduce cardiovascular events. The purpose of this study was to evaluate rates and predictors of achieving weight loss among adults who achieved hypertension control within 1 year of developing incident hypertension.
methodsRetrospective electronic health record analysis was performed of ≥18 year olds with a body mass index ≥30.0kg/m(2), who received regular primary care from 2008 to 2011 and achieved hypertension control. Exclusions were less than 60 days follow-up, prior hypertension diagnosis, prior antihypertensive prescription, or pregnancy. The primary outcome was clinically significant weight loss (≥5kg); the secondary outcome was modest (2.0-4.9kg) weight loss. Multinomial logistic regression identified predictors of achieving weight loss (≥5 or 2.0-4.9kg) compared to no significant weight loss (<2kg).
resultsOf the 2,906 obese patients who achieved hypertension control, 72% (n = 2,089) did not achieve at least 2.0kg weight loss. Overall, 12% (n = 351) achieved ≥5kg weight loss. Young adults (18-39 year olds; odds ratio (OR): 2.47, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.63-3.47), middle-aged adults (40-59 year olds; OR: 2.32, 95% CI: 1.59-3.37), and patients prescribed antihypertensive medication (OR: 1.37, 95% CI: 1.07-1.76) were more likely to achieve clinically significant weight loss and hypertension control. Age remained a significant predictor for 2.0-4.9kg weight loss.
conclusionsDespite achieving hypertension control, the majority of obese patients did not achieve clinically significant weight loss. Effective weight loss interventions with dedicated hypertension treatment are needed to decrease cardiovascular events in this high-risk population.
