Race Disparities in Hypertension Prevalence Among Older Men.
Article in International journal of aging & human development, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 study aimed to examine whether hypertension prevalence varies by race/ethnicity and within age groups in a nationally representative sample of men in the United States. Hypertension was defined as blood pressure (BP) readings of 140 mm Hg and higher for systolic BP, 90 mm Hg and higher for diastolic BP, or self-reports of taking medication for hypertension. Modified Poisson models estimated prevalence ratios (PRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for race and age group associations with hypertension. The prevalence of hypertension was 38% overall and 46% of the men were aged 50 and older. Analyses that focused on older men (50 years of age or older) found that non-Hispanic Black men had a higher prevalence of hypertension (PR = 1.28, 95% CI: 1.19 - 1.37) compared to non-Hispanic White men. We suggest future research utilize life course perspectives to better identify which cumulative experiences impact hypertension disparities.
