1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the dietary patterns of Tibetan residents and explore their association with the prevalence of hypertension. Methods: A multi-stage, stratified, random sampling method was employed to include Tibetan residents from Luhuo County, Garze Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province, China. Dietary information was collected through face-to-face interviews using a Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) consisting of 92 food items. Participants were asked to report the frequency and portion size of their consumption of each food item over the past year. The collected data were subsequently converted into average daily intake, with the 92 food items grouped into 23 distinct categories. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was then used to identify dietary patterns. Binary logistic regression analysis was conducted to investigate the association between dietary patterns and the prevalence of hypertension, adjusting for potential confounders including age, gender, living area, education, physical activity, current smoking, current alcohol consumption, diabetes, dyslipidemia, and overweight/obesity. A Results: A total of 1,262 Tibetan residents participated in the study, with an average age of 46 ± 15 years. Among them, 36.8% were male, and the prevalence of hypertension was 30.2%. Three distinct dietary patterns were identified among Tibetan residents and were subsequently named as the "Tsamba-red meat-tuber," "Rice-vegetable-fruit," and "Dairy products" patterns. After adjusting for confounding factors, individuals in the highest quartile following the "Tsamba-red meat-tuber" pattern were found to be associated with a higher prevalence of hypertension (OR = 3.04, 95% CI: 2.06-4.50; Conclusion: The "Tsamba-red meat-tuber" pattern is associated with a higher risk of hypertension, whereas the "Rice-vegetable-fruit" and "Dairy products" patterns are associated with a lower risk of hypertension in this population.
