Association between sleep duration and hypertension: Isfahan Healthy Heart Program, Iran.

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
backgroundHypertension (HTN) is an important risk factor for atherosclerotic and non-atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD). HTN increases risk of stroke and diabetes complications and at the end stage renal disease. Sleep disorders including short sleep duration are involved in pathogenesis of HTN. This study aimed to examine the association between self-reported sleep duration and HTN in a group of adult population in Isfahan City, Iran.
methodsThis cross-sectional survey was performed as part of the Isfahan Healthy Heart Program (IHHP). A total of 12492 individuals aged over 19 years (6110 men and 6382 women) entered the study. Sleep duration was recorded according to subjects' self-report. HTN was defined as a systolic blood pressure (SBP) of ≥ 140 mmHg, a diastolic blood pressure (DBP) of ≥ 90 mmHg, or use of antihypertensive medication. The relation between sleep hours and HTN was examined using multiple logistic regression in three models, unadjusted, adjusted according to age and sex, and adjusted according to age, sex, body mass index (BMI), and waist circumference (WC).
resultsSleeping time less than 5 hours, in comparison to sleep duration of 7-8 hours per night,was associated with a higher risk of HTN [odds ratio (OR) = 2.52, 95% confidence interval (CI): 2.17-2.93]. This association remained significant even after adjustment for age, sex, BMI, and WC (OR = 1.38, 95% CI: 1.16-1.64). Sleep duration over 9 hours had a negative association with risk of HTN among those under 60 years old (OR = 0.63, 95% CI: 0.47-0.86).
conclusionSleep duration less than 5 hours is positively associated with HTN. It seems that sleep duration might affect HTN and atherosclerotic CVD.
