Anemia and risk of ischemic heart disease among adults with hypertension in Thailand.
Article in BMC research notes, 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
objectiveWe examined the association between anemia and ischemic heart disease (IHD) risk in adults with hypertension in Thailand.
resultsA total of 14,744 participants were analyzed. The mean hemoglobin (Hb) level was 12.6 ± 1.8 g/dL, and 5,867 participants (39.8%) had anemia. During follow-up, 88 incident IHD cases were recorded, corresponding to an incidence of 6.0 per 1,000 persons. The adjusted risk ratio (aRR) for IHD corresponding to a one g/dL decrease in Hb level was 1.16 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.02–1.32). Compared with participants without anemia, those with mild and moderate-to-severe anemia were associated with increased IHD risk, with aRRs of 1.73 (95% CI 1.02–2.92) and 1.82 (95% CI 1.02–3.26), respectively. Participants with anemia had an aRR of 1.76 (95% CI 1.09–2.84) for IHD compared to those without. Considering anemia and hypertension control status, individuals with anemia and uncontrolled hypertension were observed to have a higher risk of IHD (aRR 1.98; 95% CI 1.02–3.82) compared to those with no anemia and controlled hypertension. Anemia is a significant, independent risk marker for IHD in Thai adults with hypertension. Screening for anemia could help identify a high-risk subgroup for more intensive cardiovascular monitoring.
