Uncontrolled hypertension among hypertensive patients in public hospitals at Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundIn both high- and low-income nations, uncontrolled hypertension poses a serious threat to public health for those who suffer from it. After it starts, hypertension needs to be controlled throughout the remainder of the person's life. Both drug and non-drug treatments are effective in preventing and managing hypertension. In Addis Ababa, little research was done on hypertensive individuals who had uncontrolled hypertension.
methodsAn institution based cross-sectional study was conducted at three public hospitals in Addis Ababa. A simple random sampling technique was used to choose the research participants. To assess factors associated with uncontrolled hypertension a binary logistic regression analysis was performed.
resultA total of 621 study participants with a response rate of 98.2% were included in this study. The study revealed that the magnitude of uncontrolled hypertension was 48%. The factors significantly associated with uncontrolled hypertension were duration of illness (AOR = 1.72, 95% CI= (1.01-2.96)), sex (AOR = 1.80, 95% CI= (1.20-2.70)), physical activity adherence (AOR = 2.48, 95% CI= (1.39-4.41)), occupational status (AOR = 0.38, 95% CI= (0.22-0.68)) and educational status (AOR = 2.45, 95% CI= (1.37-4.39)).
conclusionUncontrolled hypertension was seen in almost half of the study participants. Variables that were substantially associated with uncontrolled hypertension were sex, educational attainment, employment position, length of illness, and physical activity adherence. Healthcare providers should encourage patients to exercise frequently and make sure they take their hypertension medicines as directed.
