Undiagnosed hypertension and diabetes mellitus in the Tabari cohort: a population-based study.
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 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
backgroundUndiagnosed hypertension (HTN) and diabetes mellitus (DM) are major public health challenges worldwide. We aimed to investigate the prevalence of undiagnosed HTN and DM, and their correlates, in a large-scale population-based cohort study.
methodsIn this cross-sectional study, data collected during the enrollment phase of the Tabari Cohort study (TCS) were utilized. Data were collected in the TCS using a standard questionnaire, blood collection, and measurement of anthropometric indices and blood pressure. Data were analyzed using the chi-squared test and univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses. Undiagnosed HTN included those who were not aware of HTN at the time of enrollment but had systolic and diastolic blood pressures ≥ 140 mm or ≥ 90 mmHg, respectively. Undiagnosed DM included participants who were unaware of their DM at the time of enrollment and had FBS levels ≥ 126 mg/dL.
resultsThe total prevalence of undiagnosed HTN and DM were 5% (508) and 4.7% (485), respectively. The findings of multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that young age (OR: 0.40, P < 0.001), residents of urban regions (OR: 0.70, P = 0.03), lower Body Mass Index kg/m2 (BMI) (OR: 0.51, P = 0.002), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR)(OR: 0.70, P = 0.023), total cholesterol (TC) ≥ 200 mg/dL (OR: 0.1.83, P < 0.001), lack of history of DM (OR: 0.38,P < 0.001), cardiovascular diseases (CVD)(OR: 0.12, P < 0.001), and lack of a positive family history of HTN in first-(OR: 0.39, P < 0.001) and second-degree(OR: 0.56, P = 0.009) relatives were the main predictors of undiagnosed HTN. Accordingly, male sex(OR: 0.52, P = 0.004), young age(OR: 0.28, P < 0.001), residence in urban regions(OR: 0.30, P < 0.001), BMI ≥ 30 (OR: 1.51, P = 0.044), low-density lipoprotein (LDL) ≥ 130 mg/dL (OR:1.93, P < 0.001), TC ≥ 200 mg/dL (95% CI, 1.47-2.51, P < 0.001), positive history of chronic kidney disease (OR:1.39, P = 0.010 ), and lack of family history of first-(OR: 0.38, P < 0.001) and second-degree (OR: 0.62, P < 0.015) DM were the main predictors of undiagnosed DM.
conclusionOverall, younger participants, those residing in urban areas, those with TC ≥ 200 mg/dL, and those without a positive family history of HTN or DM were at a greater risk of undiagnosed HTN/DM.
