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
objectivesThe present study estimated the percentage of rural Chinese adults with hypertension and recommended pharmacological antihypertensive treatment according to the 2017 American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) guideline compared with the 2010 Chinese Guideline for the Management of Hypertension.
designCross-sectional study.
settingThree counties in rural areas of northeastern China.
participantsA total of 11 747 eligible individuals aged ≥35 years from rural areas of northeastern China were selected for the present analysis.
main outcome measuresThe percentage of rural Chinese adults with hypertension and recommended pharmacological antihypertensive treatment according to the 2017 ACC/AHA guideline and the 2010 Chinese Guideline for the Management of Hypertension, and the proportion of rural Chinese adults taking antihypertensive medication with blood pressure (BP) above the 2017 ACC/AHA guideline and the 2010 Chinese guideline treatment goal.
resultsThe mean age of the study population was 53.9±10.8 years and 53.7% of the participants were women. According to the 2017 ACC/AHA guideline and the 2010 Chinese guideline, the crude prevalence of hypertension was 72.2% and 49.8%, respectively, and the percentage of recommended antihypertensive medications for rural Chinese adults was 56.4% and 51.4%, respectively. Among these rural Chinese adults taking antihypertensive medications, 96.7% had above goal BP according to the 2017 ACC/AHA guideline compared with 86.1% with above goal BP according to the 2010 Chinese guideline.
conclusionThe present analysis demonstrated that compared with the 2010 Chinese guideline, the 2017 ACC/AHA hypertension guideline will result in a substantial increase in the percentage of rural Chinese adults defined as having hypertension and a small increase in the percentage of adults who are recommended antihypertensive medications. More intensive management is suggested to improve the control rate of hypertension among rural Chinese adults.
