Prevalence of Systemic Arterial Hypertension and Associated Factors in Indigenous Treated at a Specialized Outpatient Clinic in Southern Brazil.

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
backgroundThe increasing occurrence of systemic arterial hypertension (SAH) is associated with multifactorial conditions, including lifestyle changes among Indigenous populations.
objectiveTo estimate the prevalence and identify factors associated with SAH among Indigenous individuals receiving care at a specialized outpatient clinic in southern Brazil.
methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted with a sample of Indigenous individuals of both sexes aged 20 years or older, using data collected from medical records. Hypertension was defined as the dependent variable based on the recorded diagnosis, for which prevalence was estimated with a 95% confidence interval (95% CI). Sociodemographic, health-related, and behavioral characteristics were analyzed as potential associated factors through estimates of crude and adjusted prevalence ratios (PR), along with their respective 95% CIs.
resultsThe sample consisted of 570 Indigenous individuals, with a SAH prevalence of 26% (95% CI: 23-30). The associated factors were age 60 years or older (PR = 1.94; 95% CI: 1.22-3.09), having a partner (PR = 1.61; 95% CI: 1.04-2.48), and a diagnosis of diabetes mellitus (PR = 2.33; 95% CI: 1.48-3.66).
conclusionThe prevalence of SAH was found to be high, reinforcing its significance as a public health issue within the Indigenous population as well. These findings underscore the need to strengthen primary health care with an emphasis on prevention, early diagnosis, and proper management.
