Prevalence of Hypertension in Venezuela: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

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
There are no studies that quantitatively synthesize epidemiological data on hypertension (HT) in Venezuela. To systematically review and conduct a meta-analysis of population-based studies on the prevalence of HT in Venezuela. For this, a literature search was conducted across the following databases: PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, SciELO, LILACS, and Google Scholar, from January 2004 to December 2024, in both English and Spanish. A meta-analysis was performed using the DerSimonian and Laird random-effects model with inverse variance weighting. Publication bias was analyzed using a funnel plot and Egger's regression test. A subgroup analysis was conducted to explore potential sources of heterogeneity. Our systematic review followed the PRISMA guidelines, and the qualitative methodological evaluation of each study was performed using the Joanna Briggs Institute checklist. Of 13 potentially relevant studies, after sensitivity analysis regarding heterogeneity, 7 studies were retained for the final pooled prevalence estimate and quantitative synthesis. The pooled prevalence of HT was 42% (95% CI: 39%-46%, I
