[Effect of hypertension on outcomes of patients with COVID-19].
Article in Nan fang yi ke da xue xue bao = Journal of Southern Medical University, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectiveTo determine the impact of hypertension on the outcomes of patients with COVID-19.
methodsThis matched cohort study was conducted among a total 442 patients with COVID-19 admitted in Honghu People's Hospital and First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University between January 1 to March 18, 2020, including 61 patients with hypertension and 381 normotensive patients. To minimize the effects of the confounding factors including age, gender and other comorbidities, we excluded patients with comorbidities other than hypertension, and matched the patients with and without hypertension for age and gender at a 1:1 ratio. We analyzed the clinical characteristics, laboratory findings and clinical outcomes of in 32 matched pairs of patients with and without hypertension.
resultsCompared with the normotensive patients, COVID-19 patients with hypertension were more likely to develop bacterial infections (
conclusionsHypertension increases the risk of bacterial infection in patients with COVID-19. Hypertensive patients with COVID-19 have higher neutrophil counts and neutrophil/ lymphocyte ratios and are more likely to require treatment with antibiotics. Hypertensive patients with COVID-19 should therefore take cautions to avoid bacterial infections.
