Racial and Disaggregated Ethnic Disparities of Blood Pressure Control in Community Health Centers.
Article in Journal of general internal medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundHypertension is the most prevalent reversible risk for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Blood pressure (BP) control is poor nationally and varies by race/ethnicity, and there is minimal understanding of the impact of country of origin.
objectiveTo examine racial/ethnic disparities in BP control among high-risk patients and among Latino patients disaggregated by country of origin. DESIGN, PATIENTS, MAIN MEASURES: Using electronic health record data from 1604 community-based clinics and employing logistic regression adjusted for patient-level covariates, control of final recorded BP (< 130/80) was assessed by race, ethnicity, language preference, and country of origin in 298,860 adult patients with at least one high-risk condition (diabetes, heart, vascular, chronic kidney disease) from 2012 to 2020. Data analysis was conducted from June 2023 to March 2024. KEY
results40.5% of all patients had a final BP reading of < 130/80 (controlled BP). Compared with non-Latino White, non-Latino Black patients showed the lowest odds of BP control (0.69 [95% CI 0.68-0.71]) and Latino patients the highest (OR 1.19, 95% CI 1.17-1.22), with Spanish-preferring and foreign-born subgroups driving that advantage. Foreign-born Latino patients showed the highest odds of BP control compared with non-Latino White patients (OR 1.42 [95% CI 1.37-1.48]), ranging widely by country of origin.
conclusionsRace/ethnic disparities in BP control are evident in a multistate network of community-based health centers with significant variability by country of origin among Latino patients. Findings have vast implications for informing equitable clinical and public health strategies to treat patients with demonstrated difficulty achieving and maintaining BP control.
