Risk factor control and adherence to recommended Lifestyle among US hypertension patients.
Article in BMC public health, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundAlthough hypertension is a significant public health challenge globally, only a few studies have assessed the effectiveness of risk factor control and adherence to recommended lifestyle among United States hypertension patients.
methodsIn this study, a detailed, stratified analysis of the 1999-2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey was conducted to assess the adequacy of risk factor control and conformity to recommended lifestyle among United States patients with hypertension. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify influencing factors associated with not acheving risk factors and lifestyle targets.
resultsA total of 21,770 participants (mean age, 62 ± 15 years) were enrolled in this study. About one in five (20%) participants achieved the recommended body mass index goal, 40% achieved the low-density lipoprotein cholesterol goal, and 30% achieved the recommended waist circumference. Most patients (80%) achieved the recommended smoking goal, 58% met the recommended alcohol consumption, and 19% achieved the recommended physical activity goal. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that age, gender, race, education, metabolic syndrome, and diabetes mellitus were independent predictors of not achieving risk factors and lifestyle targets.
conclusionsControlling risk factors and adherence to recommended lifestyles are not ideal for hypertension patients. Therefore, further research should assess how to improve the compliance rate and take targeted measures based on influencing factors for long-term prognosis.
