A Cross-sectional Study on Prevalence of Cardiovascular Disease Risk among Hypertensive Patients Using the World Health Organization-International Society of Hypertension Chart in Rural Field Practice Areas of a Medical College, Chennai.
Article in Journal of mid-life health. 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
Context: The global incidence of cardiovascular events is on rising trends, especially in young adults. Hypertension via its acceleration of atherosclerotic process is among the most important risk factors for cardiovascular events. In this study, we aim to estimate the cardiovascular event risk among hypertensive patients. Aims: The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk among hypertensive patients in rural field practice areas of Madras Medical College. Methods: The hypertensive patients attending the outpatient department were included for the study. One hundred and eighty patients from two rural health centers were recruited for the study. The cardiovascular risk of the selected hypertensive patients was assessed by the World Health Organization-International Society of Hypertension chart. Results: Among the study participants, nearly half (45%) had less than 10% of CVD risk while about 5% had more than 40% risk of CVD. The prevalence of >10% CVD risk significantly increased with age with higher prevalence among the age group of 60-69 years (44.6%) compared to the age groups of 50-59 and 40-49 years ( Conclusion: In comparison to a previous study, the higher incidence was due to coincidence of comorbidities. Hence, blood pressure control, comorbidity screening, and regular follow-up are mandated to avoid cardiovascular events among hypertensive patients.
