National prevalence and regional variation in the burden of hypertension in India: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in BMC public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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 (HTN) represents a significant public health concern, having reached epidemic proportions globally. This study conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to derive pooled estimates for region-specific prevalence of hypertension in rural and urban areas of India, aiming to elucidate regional disparities.
methodsA comprehensive search strategy identified relevant studies from databases like PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, and Shodhganga. Studies focusing on HTN prevalence (2011-2022), adult populations, and conducted in India were included, while those with a cross-sectional design and lacking essential data were excluded. Two reviewers independently extracted data, and quality assessment used the appraisal tool for cross-sectional studies.
resultsA total of 112 studies met The inclusion criteria for this meta-analysis. The pooled prevalence of hypertension in India was 27.2% (95% CI: 23.2% - 31.3%; I2 = 99%, n = 112 studies). The highest prevalence was in the northern region (33.0%) (95% CI: 26.0% - 40.0%; I2 = 99%, n = 20 studies).
conclusionsHypertension represents a significant public health concern in India, with an estimated prevalence of one in four adults. This systematic review and meta-analysis contributes to the existing knowledge regarding hypertension in India and provides valuable insights for policymakers and healthcare professionals on the necessity of region-specific interventions for effective hypertension control and management.
