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 constitutes a leading global public health challenge, with early detection in young adults critical for primordial and primary prevention. Premarital health examinations represent an underutilized platform for population-based cardiovascular screening. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of hypertension and identify associated factors among individuals undergoing premarital examination in Guangxi, China. Methods: This large cross-sectional study was conducted at the Maternal and Child Health Hospital of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region from 2022 to 2024, enrolling 11,283 consecutive premarital participants aged 20-50 years (5,641 males, 5,642 females). Sociodemographic, anthropometric, and metabolic indicators were collected using standardized questionnaires, physical measurements, and fasting biochemical tests. According to local premarital health policy, fasting blood glucose was measured only in female participants. Hypertension was defined as SBP ≥ 140 mmHg and/or DBP ≥ 90 mmHg, or self-reported physician-diagnosed hypertension. Univariate tests, multivariate logistic regression and restricted cubic spline (RCS) models were applied to identify correlates and dose-response relationships. Results: The overall prevalence of hypertension was 7.68%, with a significantly higher rate in men (10.28%) than in women (5.09%). In univariate analysis, age, body mass index (BMI), fasting blood glucose (FBG), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), sex, BMI classification, alcohol drinking, education level, abnormal FBG, and abnormal ALT were significantly associated with hypertension in the total population (all Conclusion: Hypertension imposes a non-negligible health burden among premarital adults in Guangxi, with a markedly higher prevalence observed in males. Overweight, obesity, elevated liver enzyme levels, low educational attainment, advancing age, and abnormal fasting glucose (in women) are key correlates of hypertension in this population. Routine premarital health services should integrate comprehensive cardiovascular risk screening covering blood pressure measurement and BMI assessment, with targeted health education, to support long-term cardiovascular health among young reproductive-age populations.
