Longitudinal analysis of blood pressure control and influencing factors among 32 701 primary care hypertensive patients with or without diabetes: a prospective cohort study in Jianye District, China.
Article in International health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundWe aimed to explore the variation in blood pressure (BP) control in primary care hypertensive patients with or without diabetes, and investigate potential factors associated with inadequate BP control during follow-up.
methodsPrimary care hypertensive patients with and without diabetes were recruited in 2020 from Jianye District of Nanjing and prospectively followed up until 2023. Effective BP control was measured in terms of consistent normal readings of systolic BP <140 mmHg and of diastolic BP <90 mmHg based on the most recent assessment during the follow-up period. We used the negative binomial model with total person-years as an offset to evaluate whether the study population would achieve BP control after the 3-y follow-up period in terms of rate ratio (RR) and 95% CI. We further conducted subgroup analysis based on the absence or presence of clinically confirmed diabetes and BP stability at baseline.
resultsOf a total of 32 701 patients with hypertension, compared with those without comorbid diabetes and stable BP at baseline, patients with comorbid diabetes and unstable BP at baseline were less likely to have effective BP control at follow-up (adjusted RR=2.01, 95% CI 1.89 to 2.15). We observed an elevated risk of ineffective BP control at follow-up in those aged 60-70 y (1.69; 95% CI 1.56 to 1.83) or ≥70 y (1.73; 95% CI 1.59 to 1.88), females (1.09; 95% CI 1.03 to 1.16), those with a higher waist-to-height ratio (1.25; 95% CI 1.17 to 1.34), overweight/obese in terms of body mass index (1.16; 95% CI 1.09 to 1.23) or regularly consuming alcohol (1.26; 95% CI 1.16 to 1.37). Higher educational attainment indicated a reduced risk of ineffective BP control at follow-up (0.68; 95% CI 0.63 to 0.75).
conclusionsAchieving effective BP control remains a persistent challenge, especially for patients with comorbid hypertension and diabetes. In the absence of any novel strategies for hypertension care, the existing multidisciplinary care approaches could be repurposed and integrated for effective management of the aforementioned comorbid conditions in primary care settings.
