Prevalence and factors associated with uncontrolled hypertension among adult hypertensive patients on follow-up at Northern Ethiopia, 2019: cross-sectional study.

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
introductionuncontrolled hypertension is a major risk factor for cardiovascular, renal, and cerebrovascular morbidities and mortalities. This study aims to assess the prevalence and factors associated with uncontrolled hypertension among adult hypertensive patients.
methodshospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted. Systematic random sampling technique was used to select 396 hypertensive patients. Respondents were interviewed and their medical charts were reviewed using pretested structured questionnaire. Bivariable logistic regression was employed to examine the crude associations between the outcome variable and determinant variables. This was followed by multivariable logistic regression analysis using those variables with P-value ≤ 0.25 in the bivariable analysis.
resultsof the total 396 hypertensive patients the prevalence of uncontrolled hypertension was found to be 48.6%. One fourth (26.1%), 231(59.1%), 289(73.9%), and 151(38.6%) hypertensive respondents were non adherent to anti-hypertensive medication, physical exercise, low salt diet, and weight management respectively. Age ≥50 years old (AOR = 2.33, 95%CI: 1.25, 4.35), non-adherence to anti-hypertensive medication, (AOR = 1.82 95%CI: 1.08, 3.04), non-adherence to physical exercise (AOR = 1.79 95%CI: 1.13, 2.83), non-adherence to low-salt diet (AOR = 1.98 95%CI: 1.18,3.31), and non-adherence to weight management (AOR = 2.06, 95%CI: 1.31, 3.23) were significantly associated with uncontrolled hypertension.
conclusionthe prevalence of uncontrolled hypertension was high. Older hypertensive patients, non-adherent to their medications, physical inactivity, non-adherent to low salt diet and non-adherent to weight management were more likely to have uncontrolled hypertension. Therefore, more effort should be dedicated to those identified modifiable risk factors to maximize blood pressure control.
