Correlation between hypertension and common carotid artery intima-media thickness in rural China: a population-based study.
Article in Journal of human hypertension, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
We aimed to explore the impact of blood pressure (BP) levels on atherosclerosis in a rural Chinese population with a low-education level, low income, high incidence of stroke, and high prevalence of hypertension. B-mode ultrasonography was used to measure carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) in adults aged ≥ 45 years with no history of stroke or cardiovascular disease. A total of 5403 eligible subjects were included in this study. The mean CIMT was 0.57 mm overall, 0.58 mm for men and 0.56 mm for women. Systolic blood pressure (SBP) and hypertension were significantly associated with increased CIMT. CIMT increased by 0.42 μm for every 1 mm Hg-increase in SBP (P < 0.001). The mean CIMT in participants with a history of hypertension was 17.42 μm greater than that in participants with no history of hypertension (P < 0.001). Diastolic blood pressure (DBP) was a protective factor, as CIMT decreased by 0.44 μm with every 1 mm Hg-increase in DBP (P = 0.011).
