Prevalence and risk factors for isolated systolic hypertension among the oldest-old population in southwestern China: A community-based cross-sectional study.
Article in Journal of clinical hypertension (Greenwich, Conn.), 2024. 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
The prevalence of isolated systolic hypertension (ISH) has doubled between 2002-2005 and 2014 among the oldest-old population in China. However, the prevalence and characteristics of ISH among the oldest-old population in southwestern China remain less known. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of ISH among the oldest-old population in Chengdu and identify associated factors to provide valuable information for disease etiology and prevention. We recruited 1,312 participants aged over 80 years by using a stratified cluster sampling method between September 2015 and June 2016, from three districts (Jinjiang, Qingyang, and Longquanyi) of Chengdu, the largest city of southwest China. A structured questionnaire, anthropometric data, and blood pressure were collected according to the standard method. Blood pressure was measured three times by using a standardized mercury sphygmomanometer after a 10-minute seated rest. Of 1312 participants, 53.0% (n = 695) had ISH. The prevalence of ISH in men and women was 54.7% and 51.3%, respectively, with no significant sex difference (P = .222). The prevalence of ISH increased with advanced age in men (P for trend = 0.029), 52.5% for the 80-84 years group, 55.2% for the 85-89 years group, and 70.4% for the 90-98 years group, respectively. Multivariable logistic regression analyses found that drinking (OR = 1.85, 95%CI = 1.26-2.71), being overweight (OR = 1.88, 95%CI = 1.19-2.96), and having a higher heart rate (OR = 0.66, 95%CI = 0.51-0.86) were associated with ISH. Stratified by sex, these three factors remained significant in men. Our work highlights that the burden of ISH is substantial among the oldest-old population in southwestern China.
