Factors impacting poor hypertension control in young urban adults in a Malaysian primary care clinic.
Article in BMC primary care, 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
backgroundThe prevalence of hypertension among young adults is increasing and with it the risk of cardiovascular events. Thus, this study was conducted to determine the prevalence and factors that are associated with poor BP control in young adults (18-39 years old) in a government primary healthcare centre in Klang Valley, Malaysia.
methodsThis cross-sectional study analysed 191 hypertensive patients from the Tele-Primary Care (TPC) registry (Dec 2019-Dec 2020). BP control was defined using the Malaysian Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPG) 2018.
resultsThe median (IQR) age of the patients were 36 (5) years and most of them were Malay (77.5%), married (41.9%) and employed (67.5%). Almost all had essential hypertension (98.4%). The prevalence of poor BP control was 78.0% with most having uncontrolled diastolic BP (67.0%). The median (IQR) BMI was 31.35 kg/m
conclusionPoor BP control was worryingly high in young adults with hypertension, especially those with DM. Aggressive screening and stricter adherence to risk-stratified BP targets are essential.
