Cross-Sectional Associations of Dietary Pattern, Physical Activity with Hypertension Among Adults in Southwestern Nigeria.

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
backgroundHypertension and unhealthy traditional diets often coexist among Nigerian adults, but limited regional evidence clarifies how local dietary patterns correlate with hypertension prevalence, leading to fragmented, culturally insensitive prevention guidelines.
objectivesThis cross-sectional analysis examined cross-sectional associations between PCA-derived dietary patterns and physical activity levels and hypertension prevalence among adults residing in Oyo and Kwara States, southwestern Nigeria.
methodsA total of 608 eligible adults completed a culturally validated 7-day Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) and Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ). Standardized single-visit blood pressure measurements defined hypertension per WHO criteria. Robust cluster-adjusted Poisson regression was used to estimate prevalence ratios (PR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI, all two-sided
resultsThe overall prevalence of hypertension was 24.34%, with significantly higher prevalence among males (29.78%) compared to females (16.67%). Four distinct dietary patterns were extracted via Varimax-rotated PCA: diversified traditional pattern, typical traditional pattern, fruits and vegetables pattern, and fats and soft drinks pattern. After full covariate adjustment, highest adherence to the typical traditional pattern was significantly associated with higher hypertension prevalence (PR = 1.642, 95% CI: 1.069-2.252,
conclusionsDistinct local dietary patterns displayed consistent cross-sectional associations with hypertension prevalence in this population, while physical activity showed no independent correlation with hypertension after accounting for habitual diet.
