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: Comorbid anxiety in hypertensive patients yields poor remedy adherence which may additionally restrict treatment choices. Objective: To assess the magnitude and severity of anxiety and risk factors among hypertensive patients attending public hospitals in Arba Minch town, Ethiopia, 2022. Methods: A hospital-based cross-sectional study design was performed from June 1 to July 30/2022. The overall sample size was 336 and a systematic random sampling technique was used to pick out sufferers. Used Epi data version 3.1 for data entry and SPSS version 25 for analysis. Logistic regression analysis was done and variables with Result: The magnitude of anxiety among hypertensive patients was 32.1% with 95% CI (26.2%-37.1%). Sex [AOR: 2.25, 95%CI: 1.22-4.13], status of blood pressure [AOR: 0.30, 95%CI: 0.15-0.63], family history of hypertension [AOR: 2.48, 95%CI: 1.20-5.12], family history of mental illness [AOR: 0.19, 95%CI: 0.09-0.39], history of admission [AOR: 5.14, 95%CI: 2.73-9.68], social support status [AOR: 2.96, 95%CI: 1.09-7.97], and current alcohol use [AOR: 0.39, 95%CI: 0.18-0.86] had been notably related. Conclusion: About three in 10 hypertensive patients attending public hospitals in Arba Minch town public hospitals were anxious. Approximately two in 10 hypertensive sufferers had moderate to severe anxiety. Sex, status of blood pressure, family history of hypertension, family history of mental illness, history of admission, social support status, and current alcohol use have been substantially associated with anxiety among hypertensive patients. Therefore, enhancing gender identity, controlling blood pressure, screening and treating a family history of high blood pressure and family history of mental illness, coping with previous admission, improving social help, and cessation of alcohol use might lessen the burden of anxiety among hypertensive sufferers.
