Distribution of risk factors of hypertension patients in different age groups in Tianjin.
Article in BMC public health, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
backgroundTo analyze the risk factors for hypertension in different age groups of urban and rural residents in Tianjin.
methodsA total of 33,997 people (35-75 years old) from 13 community health service centers and primary hospitals in Tianjin participated in this study. They were divided into the youth group (≤ 40 years old), middle-aged group (41-65 years old), and elderly group (> 65 years old). Then, a questionnaire survey was administered, followed by physical and blood biochemical examinations. The demographic characteristics and prevalence were recorded and counted. Subsequently, risk factors were analyzed using univariate and stepwise multivariate logistic regression analysis.
resultsIn the youth, middle-aged, and elderly groups, the prevalence rate of hypertension was 18.65, 51.80, and 76.61%, respectively. Logistic regression analysis showed that obesity(OR: 3.263, 95% CI: 1.039-1.656), men (OR: 2.117, 95% CI: 1.691-2.651), diabetes (OR: 1.978, 95% CI: 1.398-2.799), high triglycerides(OR 1.968 95% CI: 1.590-2.434) and family history of stroke (OR: 1.936, 95% CI: 1.287-2.911) are the five factors in youth. In middle-aged group, the significantly associating factors were obesity (OR: 2.478, 95% CI: 2.330-2.636), diabetes (OR: 2.173, 95% CI: 1.398-2.799), family history of stroke (OR: 1.808, 95% CI: 1.619-2.020), maleness (OR: 1.507, 95% CI: 1.412-1.609),Hypertriglyceridemia (OR 1.490 95% CI: 1.409-1.577),family history of cardiovascular disease (OR: 1.484, 95% CI: 1.307-1.684),Hypercholesterolemia (OR 1.228 95% CI: 1.160-1.299). In the elderly group, obesity (OR: 2.104, 95% CI: 1.830-2.418), family history of strokes (OR: 1.688, 95% CI: 1.243-2.292), diabetes mellitus (OR: 1.544, 95% CI: 1.345-1.773), family history of cardiovascular disease (OR: 1.470, 95% CI: 1.061-2.036), hypertriglyceridemia (OR: 1.348, 95% CI: 1.192-1.524) increased the risk for hypertension. Waist circumference (WC) and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) increased with age, and the value of these two measures for predicting hypertension was better than BMI in middle-aged group.
conclusionObesity is the most important risk factor for hypertension in all age groups. Diabetes, family history of strokes and high triglyceride were also significant risk factors for all age groups. There was a gender difference between the young and middle-aged groups, with men more likely to hypertension. Waist circumference (WC) and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) were better predictors of hypertension than BMI in middle-aged group.
