Mental health and hypertension: assessing the prevalence of anxiety and depression and their associated factors in a tertiary care population.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Background: Anxiety and depression are more common in those with hypertension. Identifying factors may lead to earlier assessment and treatment of depression and anxiety. So the study was aimed to assess the prevalence of anxiety and depression and examine the associated factors among hypertensive patients in a tertiary care hospital. Methods: This cross sectional study was conducted over a six-months period (October 2023 to March 2024) in the Department of Medicine at Karuna Medical College Hospital, Kerala, India. The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) was used to assess the symptoms of anxiety and depression. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify factors associated with anxiety and depression. Results: Among 262 hypertensive patients, the prevalence of symptoms of anxiety were 43.8% and symptoms of depression were present in 51.3%. Female gender [OR 1.607 95% CI (0.962-2.687)] and BMI ≥ 25 [OR 0.608 95% CI (0.361-1.024)] were found to be significantly associated with anxiety ( Conclusion: According to the findings, overall 50% of hypertensive patients experience anxiety and depression, which were significantly associated with uncontrolled BP, stage1/stage 2 hypertension, female gender and obesity. Healthcare providers can help identify mental health issues early, improving outcomes, with special attention needed for women with comorbidities and limited social support.
