Achievement of target blood pressure among community residents with hypertension and factors associated with therapeutic failure in the northern territory of Japan.
Article in The Journal of international medical research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
objectiveThis study aimed to determine the rate of achieving the target blood pressure (BP) defined by Japanese hypertension management guidelines and to examine factors associated with achieving the target BP.
methodsThis cross-sectional study, which was conducted between January 2012 and December 2015, examined the BP control status and associated factors among 9,016 Japanese community residents with hypertension. Residents were divided into the following six groups: G1, young, middle-aged, and early-phase elderly patients; G2, patients with cerebrovascular disease; G3, patients with coronary artery disease; G4, patients with chronic kidney disease with proteinuria; G5, patients with diabetes; and G6, patients with chronic kidney disease without proteinuria. BP target achievement rates were calculated for each group. A multivariate analysis identified factors associated with "therapeutic failure" of target BP.
resultsThe target BP was achieved by 52.6% participants in G1, 84.3% in G2, 50.6% in G3, 45.6% in G4, 48.7% in G5, and 75.0% in G6. The body mass index and receiving antilipidemic medication were associated with therapeutic failure.
conclusionThis study shows that achievement rates for treatment goals among Japanese patients with hypertension are still low. Body mass index and treatment of dyslipidemia may be associated with the control of BP.
