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

The objectives of this study were to estimate the prevalence of co-occurring hypertension and depression among community-dwelling older adults and to examine predictors of co-occurring hypertension among community-dwelling older adults. A secondary analysis was conducted from a statewide survey of community-dwelling older adults in the state of Alabama. Binomial logistic regression was used to examine predictors of co-occurring hypertension and depression. The prevalence of co-occurring hypertension and depression among community-dwelling older adults was 35%. In the multivariate analysis, non-Hispanic African American ethnicity (OR = 1.690, CI 1.221-2.341) and diabetes (OR = 1.668, CI 1.173-2.372) were positively associated with co-occurring hypertension and depression. Income ≥ $20,000 (OR = 0.544, CI 0.400-0.739), ≥ 3 meals on average per day (OR = 0.576, CI 0.429-0.774), and higher self-ratings of general health (OR = 0.728, CI 0.628-0.843) and physical activity (OR = 0.827, CI 0.694-0.986) were negatively associated with co-occurring hypertension and depression. Public health professionals and clinicians who provide care to older adults in public health, community health, and primary care settings are in ideal positions to develop intervention strategies to curb the prevalence and incidence of co-occurring hypertension and depression in this population. If intervention strategies are not implemented in these respective settings, unfortunately community-dwelling older adults of non-Hispanic African American ethnicity, with diabetes, or with low self-ratings of general health and physical activity will likely suffer from cardiovascular disease at much higher rates than their counterparts.
