Prevalence of primary and secondary hypertension among hospitalized patients with cancer in the United States.
Article in Chronic illness, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
BackgroundHypertension is the most common comorbidity in patients with cancer. We aimed to estimate the prevalence of hypertension by demographic characteristics and cancer type among hospitalized patients with cancer.MethodsHospitalized cancer patients were included using 2016-2018 National Inpatient Sample data. The independent variable was the presence of hypertension, which was further classified as primary, secondary, and other hypertension. Patient characteristics were grouped by age, sex, race/ethnicity, and the 12 most common cancer types. Multinomial logistic regression was used.ResultsAmong 638,670 hospitalized patients with cancer, 56.8% had hypertension. The predicted percentages of having any hypertension were higher with age, male gender, and black race. The predicted percentages of any hypertension were the highest in kidney cancer patients across all age and race/ethnicity groups. Uterine cancer was associated with the highest percentages of primary hypertension, followed by kidney cancer. Leukemia was associated with the highest percentages of secondary hypertension, followed by non-Hodgkin lymphoma.DiscussionKidney cancer patients had the highest predicted percentage of hypertension overall, while uterine cancer and leukemia had the highest percentages of primary and secondary hypertension, respectively. This study provides evidence for identifying cancer patients who need more attention for the prevention and management of hypertension.
