Prevalence and Management of Hypertension in a Tertiary Care Hospital in Amalapuram, India: A Cross-Sectional Analysis.
Article in Cureus, 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 Hypertension is a major global health issue and a leading contributor to morbidity and mortality. It disproportionately affects low- and middle-income countries. Behavioral and lifestyle-related factors play a major role in raising blood pressure. Understanding local prevalence patterns and identifying modifiable risk factors are essential for developing effective prevention and control strategies. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted at a tertiary care center. Using consecutive sampling, a total of 240 participants were recruited. Data were collected using validated questionnaire forms, and statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 24 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, US). Results The overall prevalence of hypertension in the study population was 93 (38.8%), with a marked difference between men (53 (46.09%)) and women (40 (32%)). Hypertension showed significant associations with key risk factors, including body mass index (BMI), physical activity, and socioeconomic status (p < 0.05). A substantial proportion of hypertensive individuals reported limited daily physical activity, with 68 (73%) engaging in less than 15 minutes of activity per day, while 69 (74%) reported no regular exercise. Conclusion The study demonstrates a high prevalence of hypertension with strong associations to modifiable lifestyle and socioeconomic factors. Targeted preventive strategies emphasizing physical activity, weight management, and health education are essential to reduce the burden of hypertension.
