Primary Care Usage Among Adults With Self-Reported Hypertension: United States, 2023.
Article 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
backgroundApproximately half of US adults have hypertension, with only 1 in 4 having it controlled. Regular visits to primary care can assist with managing hypertension. We estimated the number of US adults aged ≥18 years with self-reported hypertension reporting primary care visits within the last year.
methodsUsing the 2023 National Health Interview Survey, we identified respondents who reported a hypertension diagnosis. Among this population, we calculated the percentage and numbers who reported primary care visits in the last year by select demographic and socioeconomic covariates.
resultsOur analytical sample of 10,953 US adults with self-reported hypertension represented 81.9 million adults nationally. Overall, 91.6% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 90.7%, 92.3%) of US adults with self-reported hypertension reported primary care visits in the last year, representing 75 million nationally. Adults aged 18-44 years had the lowest proportion of visits to primary care by age, 82.3% (95% CI: 79.0%, 85.3%). Males (90.1%, 95% CI: 88.8%, 91.3%) were less likely than females (93.1%, 95% CI: 92.1%, 94.0%) to report visits. Among those with no insurance coverage, only 79.8% (95% CI: 75.3%, 83.8%) reported primary care visits in the last year.
conclusionsOver 90% of US adults with self-reported hypertension reported a primary care visit in the previous year, representing important opportunities to manage hypertension.
