Exploring the Characteristics Associated With Diabetes and Hypertension Performance in Community Health Centers.
Article in AJPM focus, 2026. 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
Introduction: Large portions of patients served at community health centers have diabetes or hypertension. This study aimed to identify the factors related to diabetes and hypertension performance among community health centers. Methods: The authors estimated multivariable linear regression models to examine the association of characteristics (percentage of patients at high risk of cardiovascular events on statin therapy, female, overweight or obese, homeless, veterans, gender minorities, sexual orientation minorities, best served in a non-English language, or with diabetes or hypertension and log of revenue per patient) with diabetes (proportion of patients with HbA1c >9.0) and hypertension (proportion of patients with high blood pressure) control. The sample included community health centers in the 2023 Uniform Data System data set. Results: Variables significantly associated with lower diabetes control were percentage of patients who were unhoused (0.10; 95% CI=0.07, 0.13) and patients best served in a non-English language (0.03; 95% CI=0.01, 0.05); variables significantly associated with higher diabetes control were percentage of patients who were at high risk of cardiovascular events and on statin therapy (-0.17; 95% CI= -0.22, -0.12) and those who were veterans (-0.86; 95% CI= -1.12, -0.59); variables significantly associated with lower hypertension control were percentage of patients who were unhoused (0.06; 95% CI=0.03, 0.09) and patients who were hypertensive (0.10; 95% CI=0.04, 0.16) and log of revenue per patient (0.73; 95% CI=0.17, 1.30); and variables significantly associated with higher hypertension control were percentage of patients who were at high risk of cardiovascular events and on statin therapy (-0.35 95% CI= -0.39, -0.30), patients who were overweight or obese (-0.04; 95% CI= -0.07, -0.01), and veterans (-0.82; 95% CI= -1.08, -0.55). Conclusions: Community health centers with higher proportions of unhoused patients may require extra support. Encouraging delivery of evidence-based care may help performance.
