The Relationship Between Racial/Ethnic Concordance and Hypertension Control.
Article in The Permanente journal, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
introductionGiven the increasing impact of the healthcare cost of hypertension on the economy, understanding the control of high blood pressure is warranted, particularly as it pertains to racial/ethnic disparities in hypertension control.
objectiveTo understand the relationship between hypertension control and racial/ethnic concordance, we investigated whether the racial/ethnic concordance between a patient's race/ethnicity and that of the individual's provider is a predictor of high blood pressure control.
methodsData was collected for 612,524 patients from Kaiser Permanente Southern California who were at least 18 year old and received a diagnosis of hypertension between January 1, 2016 and December 31, 2019. A multiple regression analysis was carried out to assess the correlation between hypertension control and patient-provider concordance.
resultsThe independent variables proxying for patient-provider relationship are positive and statistically significant at the 5% level. Out of the 3 types of concordance, language has the highest standardized estimate, followed by gender and race. DISCUSSION: We found correlations between racial/ethnic patient-provider concordance and hypertension control. Consistent with previous studies, we found that Asian patients experience more time in hypertension control. By contrast, Black and Hispanic patients have less time in hypertension control. Having the same primary care provider for a longer span of time is also positively correlated with length of hypertension control.
conclusionCorrelation between racial/ethnic concordance, length of time under the primary provider's care, and length of time spent in hypertension control suggests that the patient-provider relationship remains a critical component of health outcomes.
