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

backgroundThis cross-sectional survey investigated the incidence of H-type hypertension and associated risk factors in a health checkup population in Urumqi, China. We aimed to identify potential intervention targets by screening patients with H-type hypertension and high-risk populations, filling the gap in the risk assessment of H-type hypertension in high-altitude areas.

methodsFrom January 2023 to January 2024, we conducted a cross-sectional study on 1,772 individuals who underwent methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T polymorphism evaluations. We included a questionnaire survey and collected physical measurements and blood samples. The relative risk factors related to H-type hypertension, as well as their correlation with the MTHFR C677T genotype, were subsequently analyzed.

resultsH-type hypertension was present in 68.96% of hypertension cases and 17.55% of the population in Urumqi who underwent health checkups. The methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T distributions of the CC, CT, and TT genotypes were 11.90%, 39.87%, and 48.23%, respectively. Moreover, multivariate logistic regression identified the MTHFR C677T TT genotype, age, triglyceride-glucose index (TyG), and carotid plaques as risk factors related to H-type hypertension, with odds ratios (ORs) of 3.044 (p < 0.001), 1.041 (p = 0.001), 1.385 (p = 0.003), and 1.748 (p < 0.001), respectively. In addition, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol was identified as a protective factor (OR = 0.447, p = 0.002). Through regression analysis, a nomogram model was constructed to predict the incidence of H-type hypertension. This model showed a good fit, and the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) was 0.760. Its predicted H-type hypertension incidence was closely related to the actual incidence.

conclusionsAccording to our findings, the MTHFR C677T TT genotype in Urumqi, China, serves as a risk locus related to H-type hypertension. Moreover, age, TyG, and carotid plaques are risk factors for H-type hypertension, whereas HDL is a protective factor.
