Magnitude and Associated Factors of Depression Among Hypertensive Patients Attending Treatment Follow Up in Chronic OPD at Hawassa University Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, Hawassa, Southern Ethiopia.
Article in Integrated blood pressure control, 2020. 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
backgroundHypertension and depression are among the most common public health issues affecting the population around the world. Like patients with other chronic medical conditions, hypertensive patients experience many intense emotions which increase their risk for the development of depression. Globally, depression is the leading cause of disability and 382 million people suffer worldwide.
objectiveThe aim of this study was to assess the magnitude and factors associated with depression among hypertensive patients attending treatment follow up in the chronic OPD at Hawassa University Comprehensive Specialized Hospital (HUCSH) from March to May, 2019.
methodsAn institutional-based cross-sectional study was conducted with 310 hypertensive patients attending treatment follow up at the chronic Out-Patient Department of HUCSH at Hawassa from March to May, 2019. A validated patient health questionnaire (PHQ-9) was used to assess depression. The data were entered using EPI-data version 3.1 and analyzed in SPSS version 22. Binary logistic regression was used to determine the association of independent variables with dependent variables.
resultsThe magnitude of depression among hypertension (HPN) patients was found to be 73 (24.7%). The independent predictors were sex 2.6 (1.16, 5.83), age 11.2 (2.98, 42), educational status, social support 2.55 (1.09, 5.94), family history of depression 7.12 (1.48, 34.26), hypertension 7.57 (2.67, 21.44), and medication adherence 11.6 (4.23, 31.78).
conclusionThe magnitude of depression among HPN patients was high. So, continuous health information dissemination at a different level regarding factors affecting them should be given. Strengthening a referral linkage with a psychiatric unit for psycho-behavioral therapy will bring good clinical outcome. Besides, controlling hypertension was crucial to bring good clinical outcome.
