Factors Associated With Nonadherence to Hypertension Treatment Among Young Adults in Korea.
Article in International journal of hypertension, 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
This study investigated hypertension management in young adults in Korea using data from the 2023 Korean Community Health Survey. We examined treatment patterns and identified factors associated with untreated cases among adults aged 20-39 years diagnosed with hypertension. Among young adults, 21.2% were receiving both drug treatment and lifestyle modification, while 28.6% were neither receiving drug treatment nor lifestyle modification. In addition, 35.5% were receiving only drug treatment, and 14.8% were practicing only lifestyle modification. The percentage of young adults who were not practicing both drug treatment and lifestyle modification was higher than that of adults aged 40 or older. These were associated with male sex (OR: 1.427, 95% CI: 1.12-1.82), BMI (OR: 0.932, 95% CI: 0.91-0.95), current smoking (OR: 1.366, 95% CI: 1.06-1.77), alcohol consumption (≤ once/week, OR: 1.654, 95% CI: 1.14-2.39; ≥ twice/week, OR: 2.484, 95% CI: 1.59-3.87), awareness of one's own blood pressure (OR: 0.194, 95% CI: 0.15-0.26), knowledge of myocardial infarction symptoms (OR: 0.779, 95% CI: 0.71-0.86), education about hypertension management (OR: 0.648, 95% CI: 0.52-0.80), and social network level (OR: 0.934, 95% CI: 0.91-0.96). These findings highlight the need for tailored interventions to improve hypertension awareness and management in young adults.
