Prevalence and associated factors of electrocardiographic left ventricular hypertrophy in a rural community, central Thailand.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is considered a cardiac condition with life-threatening complications. Detected LVH is a strong predictor of cardiovascular diseases and death. This condition is normally diagnosed at offices. We aimed to determine the prevalence and associated factors of electrocardiographic-LVH (ECG-LVH) among adults in a Thai rural community. A cross-sectional study was conducted in Na-Yao rural community of Thailand in 2020. A total of 638 individuals aged ≥ 20 years were interviewed using standardized structured questionnaires related to demographic information, risk behaviors, comorbidities and anthropometric measurements. LVH was determined by Sokolov-Lyon and Cornell criteria based on the collected electrocardiograms. The prevalence of ECG-LVH among adults was 6.6%. The factors independently associated with ECG-LVH were being male (AORs 2.04, 95% CI 1.05-3.98), history of diabetes mellitus (AORs 1.01, 95% CI 1.01-1.02), and hypertensive crisis ≥ 180/110 mmHg (AORs 7.24, 95% CI 1.31-39.92). However, resting heart rate was negatively associated with ECG-LVH (p < 0.05). Our data emphasized that LVH was one of the significant health problems among adults in a rural community. This condition could lead to severe complications. Thus, effective detection and public health interventions should be provided at the community level.
