Racial and Gender Discrimination When Tailoring Medical Management to Hypertension Treatment in Latin America.
Review in American journal of hypertension, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Discrimination in cardiovascular healthcare, particularly concerning hypertension treatment, is a significant and complex issue in Latin America, driven by biases related to gender, ethnicity, and economic status. Although cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide, disparities in healthcare delivery endure, especially impacting marginalized populations. Women, ethnic minorities, and economically disadvantaged groups encounter considerable barriers, including underrepresentation in clinical research, delayed diagnoses, and unequal access to guideline-recommended treatments. Economic disparities maintain a divided healthcare system in which the quality of treatment often directly correlates with socioeconomic status, reinforcing inequities and adversely affecting health outcomes in lower-income communities. Ethnic discrimination, stemming from deeply ingrained social biases, leads to inadequate care and limited access to advanced medical technologies, disproportionately impacting indigenous and Afro-descendant populations. Addressing these systemic inequities requires comprehensive strategies that ensure equitable participation in clinical trials, develop tailored public health policies sensitive to socioeconomic and cultural contexts, and implement targeted educational initiatives. Healthcare systems must actively dismantle entrenched biases, improve access for economically disadvantaged communities, and guarantee that ethnic minorities receive treatment of equal quality. The Inter-American Society of Hypertension emphasizes that removing these discriminatory barriers reduces the burden of cardiovascular disease and enhances overall health outcomes across Latin America. This document endorses consensus recommendations detailed in positions 1 through 4, which tackle specific challenges related to personalized care, racial biases in treatment algorithms, socioeconomic healthcare inequalities, and gender disparities in hypertension management.
