Prevalence of Hypertension and Its Associated Factors Among Patients with Type 2 Diabetes in Southern Afghanistan: A Multi-Center Cross-Sectional Study.

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: Hypertension among patients with type 2 diabetes results in higher rates of cardiovascular complications and deaths. However, there is limited data on the prevalence of hypertension and its associated factors among patients with type 2 diabetes in Afghanistan. Objective: Our study aims to determine the prevalence of hypertension and its associated factors among patients with type 2 diabetes in southern Afghanistan. Methods: This was a multi-center hospital-based cross-sectional study employed from January to June 2024 in southern Afghanistan. A total of 609 randomly selected patients with type 2 diabetes were included in the analysis. Diabetes patients were examined for the presence/absence of hypertension diagnosis using a criterion set by the American Heart Association. The binary logistic regression analysis was performed to test for risk factors associated with hypertension among patients with type 2 diabetes. Results: Among the 609 patients with diabetes included in the study, 55.3% (95% CI: 51.2%-59.3%) had hypertension. According to the results of binary logistic regression, female gender [AOR, adjusted odds ratio =1.73, 95% CI (1.09-2.74)], age of Conclusion: Due to the high prevalence (55.3%) of hypertension among patients with type 2 diabetes in Afghanistan, it is imperative to develop targeted interventions aimed at early detection and ensuring adequate care, especially for those most at risk for hypertension.
