Prevalence and Factors of Hypertension Among Bangladeshi Adults.
Article in High blood pressure & cardiovascular prevention : the official journal of the Italian Society of 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
introductionHypertension is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in developing countries, especially in South Asian countries including Bangladesh.
aimThis study aimed to assess the prevalence, risk factors, and inequality of hypertension in Bangladesh.
methodsThis study analyzed the Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey data from 2017-2018. A total of 12,863 people aged 18 years and above were included in this study. Both bivariate and multivariate analyses were performed to observe the effects of different factors and reported as adjusted ORs (AORs) with 95% CIs. Concentration index and concentration curve were used to measure the inequality in the distribution of hypertension among people with varying socio-economic status.
resultsThis study found that the prevalence of hypertension was 27.43% while this rate was 28.43% among females and 26.11% among males. The prevalence was the highest (49.26%) among those from the highest age group and among individuals who belonged to the richest households (p < 0.001). The concentration index for hypertension was 0.07. Our study suggests that the risk of having hypertension was higher among respondents who were female, elderly, were overweight or obese; had diabetes; or were from Barisal and Rangpur divisions.
conclusionOur study showed that more than one quarter of respondents had hypertension. Early diagnosis and proper management of the risk factors for hypertension are crucial to halt this emerging public health problem. A joint effort involving public, private, and non-governmental organizations is necessary to tackle the burden of hypertension faced by Bangladesh and similar developing countries in South Asia.
