Hypertension and Pneumonia: A Retrospective Analysis on the Length of Stay.
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
objectivesIdentifying factors that influence the length of hospital stay in patients with pneumonia is essential for addressing the burden of hospitalization on both patients and healthcare systems. In this study, we compared the proportion of patients with an extended LOS (≥6 days) between patients with pneumonia with concomitant HTN and those without HTN.
methodsA retrospective review of hospitalization data was conducted for 18,141 patients, who were divided into three groups: patients with both pneumonia and HTN (PXG), patients with pneumonia without HTN (P0G), and patients with HTN without pneumonia (0XG).
resultsThe analysis revealed a statistically significant reduction in the proportion of patients with an extended LOS in the PXG cohort compared with the P0G cohort. Subgroup analysis indicated that this effect was driven by outcomes in patients aged >65 years (elderly).
conclusionsOur findings suggest that hospitalization for patients with comorbid pneumonia and HTN is associated with a shorter LOS compared with patients with pneumonia without HTN. Unmeasured factors that may influence this association include the use of antihypertensive medications, adherence to lifestyle modifications, and a higher frequency of healthcare encounters.
