Parity and hypertension risk in couples: does number of parity matter: findings from Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study.
Article in BMC public health, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
BACKGROUND AND
aimsAs reported, hypertension (HTN) plays a leading role in explaining mortality worldwide, but it still has many confounding factors. This study explored whether the number of parity and age matters for HTN among couples from the Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study (TLGS).
methodsThis study was conducted on 2851 couples from TLGS. All the variables were collected based on the standard protocol. The participants were categorized into four and five categories according to the number of parity (childless, one, two, three, or more parities) and age (18-30y, 30-40y, 40-50y, 50-60y, and 60-70y), respectively. Spline regression models via log link function for the binary outcome and linear link function for continuous outcomes were applied to evaluate the effect of interaction term age and parity categories on the desired outcome.
resultsAmong the total of 2851 pairs, 2.3% had no child, 9.5% had 1 child, 38.4% had 2 children, and 49.8% had ≥ 3 children. The adjusted risk (95% CI) of HTN in females aged 40-50y with 1 child, 2 and ≥ 3 children compared to no child were 1.14(1.04, 1.26), 1.05(1.01, 1.10), 1.12(1.07, 1.17), respectively (p < 0.05). Moreover, in those aged 50-60y with 2 and ≥ 3 children, the risk of HTN significantly increased by 4%. In females aged 60-70y with ≥ 3 children compared to those without children, the risk of HTN increased by 2%. For males aged 30-40y with 2 children compared to the no child group, the adjusted risk of HTN increased by 17%, while for those with ≥ 3 children in the same age group, this risk significantly decreased by 13%. Moreover, in males aged 30-40y with 2 children, risk ratio of HTN increased by 17%, but in males with ≥ 3 children, it decreased by 13% and in those in the same groups but aged 40-50y the risk increased by 6% and 11%, respectively.
conclusionOur findings suggest that gender, childlessness, having one child, and multi-parity had different impacts on HTN. Further research is needed to confirm our findings.
