Hypertension and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Among Women in a Nationwide Electronic Health Records Dataset in the United States.

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
introductionBoth hypertension and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) are risk factors for future cardiovascular diseases among women of reproductive age (18-44 years). We constructed an electronic health record (EHR)-based PCOS phenotype, reported PCOS prevalence, and investigated the association of PCOS and hypertension in the United States (US).
methodsThis cross-sectional study used 2022 IQVIA's Ambulatory Electronic Medical Record (AEMR)-US data (May 2023 release). We constructed a phenotype for PCOS and reported PCOS prevalence for eligible women. We then described hypertension prevalence and hypertension control estimates stratified by PCOS status. Lastly, we calculated adjusted prevalence ratios (aPR) for hypertension and hypertension control by PCOS status, adjusting for age, race, and body mass index (BMI).
resultsWe analyzed records for 1,301,425 eligible women, with mean (standard deviation) age of 31.5 (7.9) years. The prevalence of PCOS was 2.1%, but increased with weight category, reaching 6.7% among those with class 3 obesity (BMI ≥ 40 kg/m DISCUSSION: Using a nationwide EHR dataset, we observed that women with PCOS had substantially higher hypertension prevalence than those without PCOS. PCOS prevalence was lower than previous estimates from global surveys. Following guideline-recommended blood pressure screening for women with PCOS could reduce the risk of long-term cardiovascular disease.
