Factors Associated With Hypertension in Peruvian Adults: A Nationwide Analysis of the Demographic and Family Health Survey.

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
Hypertension is a major modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease and a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. This study aimed to identify factors associated with hypertension among Peruvian adults using nationally representative data from the 2023 Demographic and Family Health Survey (ENDES). We conducted an analytical cross-sectional study including adults aged ≥ 18 years with self-reported hypertension status available and the a priori covariates. Associations were evaluated using survey-weighted bivariate analyses and modified Poisson regression to estimate crude and adjusted prevalence ratios (aPRs), accounting for the complex design. Among 29 826 adults, the prevalence of self-reported hypertension was 9.2%. In survey-weighted, multivariable models, age showed a strong gradient (aPRs 1.01-1.25 vs. 18-29 years), diabetes was associated with higher prevalence (aPR 1.17), and body mass index (BMI) categories showed a dose-response pattern (overweight aPR 1.02; obesity aPR 1.05). Male sex had a slightly lower prevalence than females (aPR 0.98). Smoking and alcohol use showed minimal or null associations in the primary model; sensitivity analyses for missingness produced stable inferences for alcohol, but smoking estimates varied. Hypertension remains a public health challenge in Peru. Older age, diabetes, and excess body weight are key targets for prevention; BMI disaggregation clarifies a dose-response signal. Given high item nonresponse for smoking/alcohol, we emphasize cautious interpretation and the value of improved exposure ascertainment.
