1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveThe aim of this study was to measure hypertension prevalence, awareness, treatment and control by depressive symptoms among USA adults.

methodUsing the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data from 2007 to 2018 ( n  = 28 532), depressive symptoms were categorized as 'none or minimum', 'mild', 'moderate' and 'moderately severe or severe' by the Patient Health Questionnaire. Hypertension was assessed by history, blood pressure measures and antihypertensive medication use. Adjusted prevalence rates and adjusted prevalence ratios (APRs) of hypertension prevalence, awareness, treatment and control were measured.

resultsBy depressive, the adjusted prevalence of hypertension (32.0, 34.2, 37.3 and 36.6%), awareness (80.6, 83.9, 85.7 and 89.8%) and treatment (73.1, 75.2, 78.6 and 83.9%) increased with advanced depressive symptoms, respectively (all P  < 0.001). However, no difference in hypertension control was noted after full adjustment. Compared with those with no or minimum depressive symptoms, APRs of hypertension prevalence for mild, moderate and moderately severe or severe depressive symptom were 1.07 (1.02-1.12), 1.16 (1.107-1.262) and 1.15 (1.05-1.26), respectively. The corresponding APRs were 1.04 (1.003-1.08), 1.06 (1.01-1.11) and 1.11 (1.06-1.17) for hypertension awareness, and 1.03 (0.98-1.07), 1.08 (1.02-1.14) and 1.15 (1.08-1.22) for hypertension treatment, respectively.

conclusionAmong USA adults, depressive symptoms were significantly associated with hypertension prevalence, awareness and treatment, but not with hypertension control. When managing hypertension, healthcare providers should be aware of the mental health status.
