Hypertension Prevalence, Treatment, and Related Behaviors Among Asian Americans: An Examination by Method of Measurement and Disaggregated Subgroups.
Article in Journal of racial and ethnic health disparities, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
backgroundData on hypertension among Asian Americans is lacking and often aggregated, which can mask important ethnic differences. This study aims to provide a comprehensive view of hypertension and hypertension-related behaviors, including hypertension treatment, management, and information seeking, among Chinese, Korean, and Vietnamese Americans.
methodsData were collected from 600 foreign-born Asian Americans (201 Chinese, 198 Korean, and 201 Vietnamese participants) in the Washington-Baltimore metropolitan area, aged 18 years and over, from 2013 to 2014. Hypertension was assessed using direct measurement and self-report of having ever been told by a physician. Hypertension prevalence was compared based on the method of assessment, ethnicity, and sex.
resultsThe age-adjusted hypertension prevalence from direct measurement was 27.5%, which is higher than the 2011-2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey estimate for Asians (24.9%). Hypertension prevalences from self-report among Chinese, Korean, and Vietnamese were 13.4%, 23.2%, and 22.9%, respectively, which are lower than 2014 California Health Interview Survey estimates (15.6%, 18.4%, and 25.8%) with the exception of Korean participants. In regard to hypertension-related behaviors, 67.8% of hypertensive adults received management, 64.3% took antihypertensive medication, and 67.0% sought information to improve their hypertension.
conclusionsDisaggregated data on hypertension based on measured blood pressure may prevent underestimation from self-report, particularly among those with limited healthcare access. More accurate and objective assessment of hypertension is needed for improved monitoring of hypertension among Asian-American subgroups.
