Association between plasma homocysteine and hypertension: Results from a cross-sectional and longitudinal analysis in Beijing's adult population from 2012 to 2017.
Article in Journal of clinical hypertension (Greenwich, Conn.), 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Plasma homocysteine (Hcy) levels are associated with elevated blood pressure. However, the causal association between Hcy levels and the risk of hypertension remains ambiguous. Taking the study design effect into consideration, this study aimed to investigate this issue through a cross-sectional and longitudinal analysis. Data were obtained from the Beijing Health Management Cohort study, which conducted routine health check-ups from 2012 to 2017. Multivariate logistic regression was used for the cross-sectional analysis, and a quadratic inference function approach was performed for the longitudinal analysis. A total of 30 376 subjects (mean age = 50.0 years) were included in the cross-sectional analysis, and a subgroup of 3913 subjects without hypertension at baseline was included in the longitudinal analysis. After adjusting for potential confounders, the risk of hypertension increased with Hcy levels in the cross-sectional analysis using the traditional definition of hypertension (OR = 1.262, 95% CI: 1.155-1.378, Q2 vs Q1; OR = 1.458, 95% CI: 1.335-1.593, Q3 vs Q1; OR = 1.520, 95% CI: 1.388-1.664, Q4 vs Q1) and the 2017 hypertension definition (OR = 1.159, 95% CI: 1.067-1.259, Q2 vs Q1; OR = 1.328, 95% CI: 1.221-1.445, Q3 vs Q1; OR = 1.328, 95% CI: 1.217-1.449, Q4 vs Q1). The longitudinal analysis showed that hypertension risk increased in the third quartile of Hcy (OR = 1.268, 95% CI: 1.030-1.560, Q3 vs Q1). Elevated total plasma Hcy may be used as a predictive biomarker for hypertension. Attention should be paid to gender-specific mechanisms when issuing precise precautions.
