Obesity and hypertension from a public health perspective in a small remote island of Okinawa, Japan.
Article in Hypertension research : official journal of the Japanese Society of Hypertension, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
This study investigated the relationship between obesity and hypertension from a public health perspective in a small remote island of Okinawa where obesity is prevalent. A cross-sectional study was conducted in 456 residents aged ≥18 years in Yonaguni island who underwent an annual health check-up and the Yonaguni dietary survey in 2022. Each participant responded to our original questionnaire and provided further dietary survey data via the Yonaguni municipal government. The odds ratio for hypertension was calculated in the obese group, using a logistic regression model with the non-obese group serving as the reference. Hypertension was defined as a systolic blood pressure ≥140 mmHg, a diastolic blood pressure ≥90 mmHg measured on an automated sphygmomanometer, and/or taking anti-hypertensive agents, while obesity was defined as a body mass index ≥25 kg/m
