Prevalence of Hypertension Among the Rural Adult Population in India: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Review in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Hypertension is a major cause of premature death worldwide. Studies have shown that the rural adult population in India is also experiencing this burden. To determine the overall pooled prevalence of primary hypertension in the adult rural population of India, an extensive search was conducted in various databases such as MEDLINE/PubMed, IndMED, EBSCO, CINAHL, and Google Scholar from 01/01/2014 to 16/05/2024. The studies were reviewed by two authors independently, assessing their quality and extracted data using pre-coded spreadsheets. The pooled estimates of hypertension prevalence were calculated using the Der Simonian-Laird random effects model, and subgroup, sensitivity analyses, and meta-regression were performed. In the final review, a total of 10 studies involving 30757 subjects were included. The combined pooled estimate of hypertension prevalence was 24% (95% CI: 19, 29) and there was a significant level of heterogeneity observed among the studies (I
