Sexual Orientation and Hypertension Risk Reduction Behaviors Among Adults with High Blood Pressure.
Article in Annals of LGBTQ public and population health, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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 a significant modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), the leading cause of death in the U.S. Evidence is emerging showing disparities in CVD risk between sexual minorities and heterosexuals. Engagement in CVD risk reduction behaviors may account for differences. We examined CVD risk reduction for hypertension between sexual minorities and heterosexuals using data from the 2017 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System.
methodsUsing bivariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses, we compared medical advice and actions taken (taking medicine, changing eating habits, cutting down on sale, reducing alcohol and exercising) to control blood pressure in sexual minority and heterosexual respondents. Analyses were conducted in 2019.
resultsApproximately 35% of the sample indicated being told by a health professional they had high blood pressure. Sexual minorities were less likely to report reduced alcohol intake to lower their blood pressure (AOR=.515, 95% CI=.300, .883). One sex specific difference between sexual minority women and heterosexual women was found; sexual minority women were less likely to indicate being advised by a health professional to take medications to lower blood pressure when compared to heterosexual women.
conclusionsStrategies are needed to reduce alcohol consumption in sexual minority individuals. Uncovering the reasons for the lack of adherence by both sexual minority patients and health care providers can guide future interventions to improve adherence and reduce hypertension as a CVD risk.
