Relationship Between Hypertension and Cognitive Function in an Elderly Population: A Population-Based Study in Rural Northern China.
Article in Frontiers in neurology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
The burden of cognitive impairment and dementia is particularly severe in low- and middle-income countries. Although hypertension is an important risk factor for cognitive impairment, the influence of different hypertension classification on cognitive impairment remains controversial. To explore the impact of hypertension and hypertension classification on cognitive function, this study was based on a low-income population aged over 60 years in northern China. This population-based, cross-sectional study was conducted from April 2014 to January 2015 in rural areas of Tianjin, China. A total of 1,171 participants aged ≥ 60 years were included. Participants were interviewed by professional researchers face-to-face, using the pre-designed questionnaire. Cognitive function was assessed using the Mini-mental State Examination (MMSE). Multivariate regression analysis was used to calculate the odds ratio (OR) value. There was a significant association between hypertension and cognitive impairment (OR, 1.415; 95% CI: 1.005-1.992;
