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

Taiwan's indigenous population exhibits a higher mortality of cardiovascular disease, but current research has not reported any associations among ethnicities on the blood pressure (BP). We randomly selected representative samples in this population-based study. We measured height, weight, hip and waist circumferences, and blood pressure in a screening survey. Systolic BP and diastolic BP were significantly higher in the indigenous population. Among women, prevalence rates of DBP > 90 mmHg among indigenes (32.9 %) were significantly high than those in Han Chinese (17.4 %). Based on multivariate analysis adjusted for covariates, the results showed gender and ethnicity to be significantly correlated with systolic and diastolic BP. Gender was a modifier between ethnicity and BP. Furthermore, we found an additive effect between ethnicity and age on systolic and diastolic BP by gender. Our study showed independent additive effects on systolic BP and diastolic BP between ethnicity and age by gender.
