The Burden of Hypertension and Diabetes Mellitus and Their Predictors in an Urban Slum of Chhattisgarh, India: A Retrospective Record-Based Study.
Article in Cureus, 2025. 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 Non-communicable diseases pose a significant health burden in India. Hypertension and diabetes are known to affect underprivileged communities in terms of healthcare costs disproportionately. This study aimed to determine the burden of these two diseases and their predictors in an urban slum of Raipur city. Methods We conducted a retrospective record-based study in an urban slum of Raipur. A population-based screening register is maintained in the Urban Health Training Centre, All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Raipur. Data about adults who underwent screening from January 2023 to December 2023 were extracted from this register. Sociodemographic details, lifestyle factors, family history of NCDs, and medication history were collected and analyzed. The prevalence of diabetes mellitus and hypertension was estimated, and logistic regression was performed to identify the important risk factors for diabetes and hypertension. Results Out of 1,005 study participants, the median age was 48, with an IQR of 38-60 years. The prevalence of hypertension and diabetes mellitus was 33% and 16%, respectively. In logistic regression, age (adjusted odds ratio (aOR): 1.06, 95% CI: 1.05-1.08), alcohol consumption (aOR: 2.98, 95% CI: 1.13-7.85), and diabetes (aOR: 2.55, 95% CI: 1.75-3.70) were significant risk factors for hypertension. For diabetes mellitus, age (aOR: 1.03, 95% CI: 1.01-1.04) and hypertension (aOR: 2.57, 95% CI: 1.77-3.75) were significant risk factors. Conclusions We found a high prevalence of hypertension and diabetes mellitus in the urban slum, with increased risk with increasing age, alcoholics, and those with comorbid conditions. Early and targeted intervention, focusing on modifiable lifestyle factors and early screening of comorbid conditions, is crucial for managing and reducing the burden of non-communicable diseases in vulnerable communities.
