Sex-Specific Trends in the Prevalence of Hypertension and the Number of People With Hypertension: Analysis of the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) 1998-2018.
Article in Korean circulation journal, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 13 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
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesAs the Korean population ages fast, it is estimated that the people with hypertension, especially female patients, will increase rapidly. However, there are few data comparing the size of female and male hypertensive patients in the Korean population. Thus we assessed sex-specific trends in the prevalence and the number of people with hypertension.
methodsWe analyzed data for 128,949 adults aged ≥20 years with valid blood pressure measurements from the 1998 to 2018 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES). The prevalence and the absolute number of hypertension were estimated with taking into the sampling weights separately for women and men.
resultsOverall prevalence of hypertension is higher in men than in women. But, in older adults, women show higher prevalence and the number of people with hypertension. Between 1998 and 2018, prevalence of hypertension increased from 61.8% to 65.9% in elderly (age 65+) women, and from 49.0% to 59.4% in elderly men. During the same period, the number of elderly women with hypertension increased from 1.18 to 2.70 million, while the number of elderly men with hypertension increased from 0.57 to 1.78 million. Among hypertensive patients, undiagnosed hypertension and diagnosed-but-untreated hypertension were more common in men, while treated-but-uncontrolled hypertension were more common in women.
conclusionThe fast-growing number of elderly women with hypertension will be an important public health challenge for the Korean society to solve in order to reduce the burden of cardiovascular disease.
