Influencing factors of wide pulse pressure in an elderly Chinese population: A cross-sectional study.

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
Blood pressure and pulse pressure (PP) had their own characteristics in the elderly population. This cross-sectional study including 5030 elderly participants was conducted to describe the distribution of blood pressure and wide PP in the elderly population and find influencing factors of wide PP. Wide PP was defined as PP equal to or more than 65 mmHg, and was classified three types as low systolic blood pressure (SBP) and low diastolic blood pressure (DBP) (LSLD), high SBP and low DBP (HSLD), and high SBP and high DBP (HSHD). Using multivariate logistic regression models to analyze the associations of demographic factors, health-related factors and lifestyle factors with different wide PP types. The associations of lifestyles with wide PP by gender were estimated by subgroup analyses. Among 5030 elderly participants, 2727 (54.2%) participants had wide PP. Logistic regression models showed older age (OR = 2.48, 95%CI: 2.14-2.88), female (OR = 1.31, 95%CI: 1.07-1.60), not married (OR = 1.26, 95%CI: 1.07-1.49), having chronic diseases (OR = 1.28, 95%CI: 1.09-1.50), current alcohol drinker (OR = 1.29, 95%CI: 1.11-1.50) were positively associated, and higher body height (OR = .78, 95%CI: .62-.99), higher education level (OR = .60, 95%CI: .43-.82), current smoker (OR = .79, 95%CI: .64-.97) were negatively associated with wide PP. Among three different types of wide PP including LSLD, HSLD, HSHD, these factors had different effects. Subgroup analyses found that only among male, current smoker was negatively associated and current alcohol drinker was positively associated with wide PP.
