Maternal or paternal history: Which one plays more important role in developing hypertension?
Article in ARYA atherosclerosis, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundHypertension (HTN) is one of the most common non-communicable diseases (NCDs), which in 2017 accounted for 1.65% of all deaths, and 0.66% of disability-adjusted life years (DALYs). About 25% of the adult population are hypertensive in Iran. Prevalence of HTN is significantly higher in those with a family history of HTN. This study compares the impact of paternal and maternal history of HTN on the risk of HTN development.
methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted among 2107 adults of 18-84 years old residing in Isfahan, Iran, from August 2015 to March 2016. Blood pressure (BP) measurement standards were taken from World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines. We measured BP in the right arm for three times at 1-minute intervals and considered the mean of second and third measurements. Other data were collected by questionnaire.
resultsPrevalence of HTN was higher in participants whose mother or both parents were hypertensive (P < 0.001). Diastolic BP (DBP) was affected by every side of parental history (P < 0.001), while systolic BP(SBP) was affected when both parents were hypertensive (P < 0.001). As a result, maternal family history increased the odds of HTN by 1.9 times [95% confidence interval (CI): 1.35-2.65] and both maternal and paternal history increased it by 3.1 times (95% CI: 2.01-4.78) compared to those with no family history. However, paternal history was not significantly related to the odds of HTN.
conclusionOur study results demonstrate that maternal history of HTN doubles the odds of HTN. Besides, if both parents are hypertensive, it will be tripled.
