Anthropometric indices and elevated blood pressure: A record-based study among employees of a tertiary health care institute in Telangana.
Article in Journal of family medicine and 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
Background: Hypertension is a major global health concern and a leading risk factor for cardiovascular disease. With rising obesity rates, anthropometric indices such as body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) are increasingly used as non-invasive screening tools to identify individuals at risk of elevated blood pressure. Objectives: To examine the association between anthropometric indices and elevated blood pressure among employees of a tertiary health care institute in Telangana. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among employees at Tertiary Healthcare Institute, Telangana during a hypertension screening drive. Participants included healthcare and administrative staff. Data were collected on height, weight, WC, and blood pressure using WHO-recommended protocols. Hypertension and pre-hypertension were defined as per JNC VIII criteria. Statistical analysis, including logistic regression, to evaluate associations between anthropometric measures and blood pressure. Results: A significant association was observed between elevated blood pressure and increased BMI, WC, and WHtR ( Conclusion: Anthropometric indices are valuable tools for early detection of hypertension in occupational settings. Routine screening and workplace interventions focusing on lifestyle modifications are essential to prevent long-term cardiovascular complications.
