Association between socioeconomic status and hypertension among adults in Fujian province and the mediating effect of BMI and cooking salt intake: a cross-sectional study.
Article in BMJ open, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
objectivesThis study aimed to investigate the association between socioeconomic status (SES) and the prevalence of hypertension in Fujian province, China, and to evaluate the mediating effect of body mass index (BMI) and cooking salt intake between SES and hypertension.
designCommunity-based cross-sectional survey was conducted between June 2018 and December 2019.
settingFujian province, China.
participantsA total of 26 500 participants aged >18 years completed the survey. OUTCOME MEASURES: The primary outcome was the prevalence of hypertension. Education, income and occupation were used as SES indicators. Meanwhile, certain health behaviours and metabolic risk factors were used as secondary indicators of SES.
resultsThe prevalence of hypertension was relatively high among participants who finished primary education (34.8%), had the lowest annual income (46.0%), were unemployed or retired (34.7%). Education and income levels were negatively associated with the prevalence of hypertension (p<0.05). Regular smoking, alcohol consumption, BMI and high cooking salt intake were also significantly associated with the prevalence of hypertension (p<0.05). Cooking salt intake was identified as a partial mediator between income and hypertension, mediating 3.45% of the association. Both BMI and cooking salt intake were partial mediators between education and hypertension, mediating 5.23% and 1.93% of the association, respectively.
conclusionsSES was associated with the prevalence of hypertension among adults in Fujian province, China. BMI and cooking salt intake were partial mediators of the association between SES and hypertension.
