Assessment of hypertension control and factors associated with the control among hypertensive patients attending at Zewditu Memorial Hospital: a cross sectional study.
Article in BMC research notes, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
objectiveThis study was conducted to assess hypertension control and factors associated with it among hypertensive patients on treatment at Zewditu Memorial Hospital.
resultsA total of 225 patients were included in the study, of which 55.6% of patients were females. The mean age of the patients was 55.2 years and half of them had a family history of hypertension. About 29% of patients had comorbidities. Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs), calcium channel blockers (CCBs) and beta-blockers (BBs) were the most frequently prescribed medications. Majority of (83.1%) the patients received combination therapy. The most frequent two and three drugs class combination were ACEI + BB and ACEIs + CCB + BB, respectively. Drug treatment was modified for 22.2% of patients and blood pressure (BP) was controlled in 26.2% of patients. Older age was associated with good BP control (AOR 2.58, CI 1.27-5.24), while treatment modification was associated with poor BP control (AOR 0.21, CI 0.07-0.65). The findings indicate that BP control was low and factors like middle age and treatment modification contributed to the low BP control. It is recommended that the physicians should be adherent to current guidelines regarding the selection of appropriate antihypertensive medications so as to achieve target BP goals.
