Quantifying Hypertension and Cardiovascular Conditions in South Africa.

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
South Africa has some of the highest prevalence and incidence rates of non-communicable diseases in the world. In this study, the burden of obesity and its impact on cardiovascular conditions such as hypertension were investigated among South African men and women. The study utilized data from the South African National Income Dynamics Study (SA-NIDS) surveys conducted from 2008 to 2017. A total of 80,270 individuals consented to participate, comprising 32,686 men (41%) and 47,584 women (59%). Besides multivariable logistic regression models, the relative importance of obesity on hypertension was assessed and compared to behavioral and socioeconomic conditions. Obesity and elevated waist-circumference measurements were the most prominent correlates of increased prevalence of hypertension. After adjusting for non-modifiable and background risk factors, the population-attributable risk (PAR%) of obesity on hypertension exceeded that of other traditional risk factors. It was substantially higher in women (
