1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundSeveral studies have examined the association between socioeconomic status (SES) and the proportion of untreated hypertension, but have produced conflicting findings. In addition, no study has been conducted to determine sex differences in the association between SES and untreated hypertension. Thus, the aim of this study was to examine whether the associations between SES and the proportion of untreated hypertension differed by sex in Vietnam.

methodsThis study was conducted using the data of 1189 individuals (558 males and 631 females) who were judged to have hypertension during the baseline survey of a prospective cohort study of 3000 residents aged 40-60 years in the Khánh Hòa Province. A multilevel Poisson regression model with a robust variance estimator was used to examine whether sex and SES indicators (household income and educational attainment) interacted in relation to untreated hypertension.

resultsThe proportion of untreated hypertension among individuals identified as hypertensive was 69.1%. We found significant interaction between sex and SES indicators in relation to untreated hypertension (education: p < 0.001; household income: p < 0.001). Specifically, the association between SES and untreated hypertension was inverse among males while it was rather positive among females.

conclusionsOur finding suggests that the role of SES in the proportion of untreated hypertension might differ by sex.
