The burden of hypertension in Ecuador: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Journal of human hypertension, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Hypertension is a major risk factor of cardiovascular diseases, which occurrence has increased consistently worldwide. With this in mind, this review was designed to evaluate the prevalence of hypertension in Ecuador. We systematically searched publications in Medline, Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Cochrane Database, and Ibero-America electronic databases for articles published through September 2019 and reporting the prevalence of hypertension in Ecuador. Selected data were subjected to meta-analysis, and pooled prevalence and their 95% (95% CI) were calculated. Seventeen articles have been selected according to the inclusion/exclusion criteria of the study. The overall estimate of the pooled prevalence of hypertension was 35.8% (CI: 31.3-38.4). Most importantly, the prevalence of hypertension increased markedly with age and obesity. Pooled estimates for the four age subdivisions (<30 years), (≥30 and ≤50 years), (>50 and ≤60 years) and (>60 years) were 9.4% (CI: 7.3-11.5), 22.0% (CI: 19.0-25.0), 26.1% (22.2-30.0) and 48.7% (CI: 45.4-52.0), respectively. Moreover, the pooled estimate of subjects with BMI ≥ 30 kg/m
