Socioeconomic Disparities in the Prevalence, Diagnosis, and Control of Hypertension in the Context of a Universal Health Insurance System.
Article in Journal of Korean medical science, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
A lower use of preventive intervention in low socioeconomic populations has been described in countries with universal coverage health care systems, but little is known about the possible socioeconomic inequalities in secondary prevention in a universal health insurance system. Data from the 2010-2013 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, a nationwide survey, were analyzed. A total of 20,044 subjects older than 30 years of age were included after excluding subjects with missing data. Prevalence ratios were calculated using Poisson regression models with robust variance to explore factors associated with the prevalence, unawareness, and inappropriate control of hypertension. Hypertension prevalence decreased with increasing education and income level. We observed an inverse association between education level and undiagnosed hypertension among women, but not men. Socioeconomic level was not associated with inadequate control of hypertension among men or women. Future interventions should include primary prevention efforts targeted at lower socioeconomic populations to reduce disparities. There is substantial room for improvement in secondary prevention efforts. Monitoring strategies may highlight gaps in the preventive and care services offered to the most vulnerable individuals and encourage governments and practitioners to address these gaps.
