Hypertension and its associated risk factors in tuberculosis patients: A hospital based cross-sectional study.
Article in Asia Pacific journal of clinical nutrition, 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
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesTuberculosis (TB) is associated with a number of non-communicable diseases including hypertension. The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of hypertension in TB patients and investigate its associated risk factors. METHODS AND STUDY
designA hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted in Qingdao, China (2011-2019). Data on demographics, medical history, and lifestyle were collected via questionnaire. Blood pressure was measured at admission. Logistic regression identified hypertension risk factors.
results2159 TB patients were included in total in the final analysis. Among them, 485 (22.5%) were hypertensive. After adjusting for dietary sodium and potassium intake, marital status, retreatment, physical activity and smoking index, multivariate logistic regression showed that hemoglobin (HGB) ≥143 (OR, 95% CI: 1.74, 1.08~2.79) , age >35 (OR, 95% CI: 2.93, 1.87 ~ 4.59), male gender (OR, 95% CI: 1.77, 1.13~2.77), overweight or obesity (OR, 95% CI: 2.04, 1.42~2.93) , heavy drinking (OR, 95% CI: 1.76, 1.19~2.59) and concurrent DM (OR, 95% CI: 1.54, 1.09~2.17) were associated with increased risk of hypertension in TB patients, whereas high education level (OR, 95% CI: 0.47, 0.26~0.85) served as a protective factor.
conclusionsNearly 25% of TB patients have prevalent hypertension at admission. High HGB, being overweight or obese, heavy drinking, male gender and concurrent DM are associated with higher odds of hypertension in TB, while a higher education level serves as a protective factor. Our study provides important evidence for understanding the prevalence of hypertension in TB, underlying the double burden of TB and hypertension.
