Physical disability and risk of incident hypertension: a prospective cohort analysis.
Article in Journal of human hypertension, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Hypertension remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, yet its relationship with physical disability has been underexplored in population-based longitudinal studies. We conducted a prospective cohort analysis using data from the UK Household Longitudinal Study. Individuals aged 16 and older without baseline hypertension (N = 19,319) were followed from Wave 10 (2018-19) to Wave 14 (2022-23). Physical disability was defined as self-reported difficulty, lasting or expected to last at least 12 months, in any of eight domains of physical and sensory functioning. Modified Poisson regression with robust standard errors was used to estimate adjusted relative risks (RRs) for incident hypertension, controlling for age group, sex, residential location (urban/rural), educational attainment, ethnicity, smoking status, and baseline health conditions. Over a four-year follow-up, 610 of 19,319 participants (3.2%) developed hypertension. In fully adjusted model, individuals with any physical disability had a significantly elevated risk of hypertension (RR = 1.65; 95% CI:1.39-1.97; p < 0.001) compared to those without disability. Compared to individuals with no disability, those with one physical disability had an RR of 1.29 (95% CI:1.01-1.64; p = 0.043), while those with two or more disabilities had an RR of 2.10 (95% CI:1.69-2.59; p < 0.001). A linear trend was observed across increasing number of disabilities (RR per additional domain = 1.43; 95% CI:1.29-1.59; p < 0.001). By type, the highest risks were observed for coordination or balance impairment (RR = 2.12; 95% CI:1.58-2.84), mobility impairment (RR = 2.03; 95% CI:1.66-2.48), and sight impairment (RR = 1.80; 95% CI:1.27-2.56), all p < 0.001. Physical disability was a significant independent predictor of incident hypertension in this population-based cohort.
