Prevalence of hypertension and its relationship with altitude in highland areas: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Hypertension research : official journal of the Japanese Society of Hypertension, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 26 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
This systematic review and meta-analysis synthesized the pooled prevalence of hypertension at high altitudes and explored its correlation with altitude using studies published in Chinese and English from database inception to February 2021. A systematic literature search was conducted among bibliographic databases (PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science) and three Chinese databases (CNKI, VIP, and Wanfang data) to identify eligible studies. A random-effects model was used to calculate the overall pooled prevalence of hypertension. The I
