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: In China, the incidence of hypertension rises significantly with age, resulting in a markedly reduced quality of life (QoL) among older patients compared to the general population. Therefore, it is essential for healthcare providers, particularly nurses, to identify the predictive factors that influence QoL in this demographic. Objective: This study aimed to describe the QoL levels and investigate the predictive power of perceived health status, self-care behavior, and social support on QoL among older patients with hypertension in Wenzhou, China. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 131 patients with hypertension aged 60 and above, visiting the Cardiovascular Outpatient Department of The Second Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University. Data were collected using validated instruments between November and December 2022 and analyzed using descriptive statistics and stepwise multiple regression. Results: The overall QoL was moderate (Mean = 75.52, SD = 5.86). Self-care behavior (β = 0.421, Conclusions: The findings highlight the importance of self-care behavior, social support, and perceived health status as critical factors influencing QoL among older patients with hypertension. Nurses and other healthcare providers should focus on enhancing these areas through targeted education and support initiatives to improve the overall well-being of this vulnerable population.
