Prediction of primary Hypertension in Primary Health Care Settings in Coastal Karnataka Using Artificial Neural Network.
Article in Current hypertension reviews, 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
introductionHypertension, characterized by chronically elevated blood pressure, poses a significant global health burden. Its prevalence, a critical public health concern, necessitates accurate prediction models for timely intervention and management.
aimThe proposed approach leverages the capability of an artificial neural network to capture complex patterns and non-linear relationships within the time series data, allowing for the development of a robust forecasting model to predict Hypertension. The study population consisted of known hypertensives. In this study, historical time series data related to Hypertension, including patient demographics, lifestyle factors, and medical records, were collected from a Rural primary health center associated with the medical college in coastal Karnataka, India, which is employed to train and validate the model.
methodsThe performance of the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is evaluated using metrics such as MAE (Mean Absolute Error) and RMSE (Root Mean Squared Error) on a separate test dataset. This research explores the potential of ANN in time series forecasting of Hypertension.
resultsANN performs well for this data and has been chosen as the best algorithm for this data set, as it has the lowest MAP (0.20) and MAE (0.45) and the highest R-Square (0.89), making it the most accurate and reliable model for the given data. If these algorithms prove beneficial, they can be used in the primary prevention of Hypertension. Individuals, institutions, and even government bodies can use it to save treatment costs and lives.
conclusionThe ANN model demonstrated reasonably accurate predictions despite the lower overall fit. It has shown the potential to be used as a primary healthcare tool by helping physicians predict and warn about the dangers of elevated blood pressure to patients. These algorithms, deployed using a web application, will enable people to evaluate themselves in the comfort of their homes. This would make us inch closer to the WHO's broader goal of making health a universal right, irrespective of a person's place of residence.
