1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

BACKGROUND AND

objectiveLittle evidence exists regarding the marginal decrease in health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in relation to the presence of hypertension among a Hispanic population based on US population-based research.

methodThis cross-sectional study used data from the 2014 to 2015 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS). The target population was comprised of Hispanic community-dwelling residents with hypertension in the USA. The independent variable was the presence of hypertension. The dependent variable was HRQoL, which was measured using the Short Form-12 (SF-12) physical health composite scale (PCS) and mental health composite scale (MCS).

resultsA total of 13,933 members of the Hispanic population met the study inclusion criteria, and the estimated population size was 36,440,400 Hispanics. Among them, 82.9% did not have any hypertensive condition (n = 11,466), while 17.7% had some hypertensive condition (n = 2467). SF-12 PCS scores (95% CI) were 46.62 (45.68-47.57) in the Hispanic population with hypertension and 51.62 (51.1-52.14) in the Hispanic population without hypertension. SF-12 MCS scores (95% CI) were 52.67 (52.07-53.27) in patients without hypertension and 50.35 (49.45-51.26) in the Hispanic population with hypertensive conditions.

conclusionThe presence of hypertension was associated with lower HRQoL in the Hispanic population. Based on our findings, we suggest that healthcare providers should monitor a hypertensive minority population for anxiety and mood disorders and recommend psychiatric assessment and treatment if appropriate.
