The Association between Hypertension and Race/Ethnicity among Breast Cancer Survivors.
Article in Journal of racial and ethnic health disparities, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05574686 (Tracking Social Outcomes of Hypertension in Women With Breast Cancer), which is not on this map. Cited by 13 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.

Abstract
purposeHypertension is a significant, modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). African American women who are diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer have a significantly higher risk of premature death due to CVD. The purpose of this study was to examine the association between hypertension and race/ethnicity among breast cancer survivors using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys 1999-2014.
methodsNon-Hispanic African American and non-Hispanic White women who were diagnosed with breast cancer were identified. Hypertension was defined as taking medication to treat hypertension, having a systolic blood pressure ≥ 140, or a diastolic blood pressure ≥ 90. Modified Poisson regression was performed to estimate the prevalence ratios (PR) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI) for race/ethnicity, as it relates to hypertension controlling for potential confounders.
resultsOf the 524 breast cancer survivors included in our study, 107 (20.4%) were African American and 417 (80.0%) were White. After adjusting for age, marital status, education, annual household income, health insurance, smoking and drinking status, physical inactivity, obesity, and diabetes, African American breast cancer survivors had a 30% higher prevalence of hypertension (PR = 1.30 [95% CI, 1.11-1.52]) than White breast cancer survivors.
conclusionsThese results indicate that African American breast cancer survivors have a significantly higher risk of CVD due to hypertension even after controlling for other comorbid conditions such as diabetes and obesity.
