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
Background: Hypertension is a major contributor to cardiovascular and renal disease worldwide, particularly in low-resource settings such as Yemen. Objective: To identify demographic, clinical, and lifestyle-related factors associated with hypertension among heart disease (HD) and kidney disease (KD) patients in Sana'a. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 300 patients (200 men, 100 women; aged 35-70 years) between March and August 2024. Data on age, sex, weight, smoking, Qat chewing, diabetes, and antihypertensive medication adherence were collected. Blood pressure was measured using a standardized sphygmomanometer. Logistic regression was used to calculate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Results: Hypertension was significantly associated with age (OR: 1.08; 95% CI: 1.02-1.11), obesity (OR: 2.42; 95% CI: 1.23-4.75), smoking (OR: 1.88; 95% CI: 1.05-3.35), type 2 diabetes (OR: 2.87; 95% CI: 1.56-4.55), and irregular medication use (OR: 3.21; 95% CI: 1.45-7.11). All participants reported Qat chewing (100%). Conclusion: Age, obesity, smoking, diabetes, and poor medication adherence are major predictors of hypertension in Yemeni HD and KD patients. The universal irregularity in medication use highlights systemic healthcare gaps. Strategies to improve adherence, promote lifestyle modification, and strengthen healthcare systems are urgently needed.
