1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundHypertension frequently coexists with chronic conditions such as diabetes, dyslipidemia, chronic kidney disease, and obesity. This study aimed to assess the prevalence and associated factors of comorbidities among hypertensive patients in northwest Ethiopia.

methodsA multi-centered, institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted in 2024 among 423 randomly selected hypertensive patients. Data was collected through structured interviews and physical assessments. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were employed to identify significant associations, with p-values < 0.05 considered statistically significant.

resultsThe prevalence of comorbidities among hypertensive patients was 30.5% (95% CI: 26.2–34.8%). The most common comorbidities were chronic kidney disease (10.9%), diabetes mellitus (9%), dyslipidemia (7.5%), and obesity (3.1%). Factors significantly associated with comorbidity included age ≥ 65 years (AOR = 1.77), hypertension duration ≥ 5 years (AOR = 1.99), alcohol consumption (AOR = 1.93), and physical inactivity (AOR = 1.9).

conclusionNearly one-third of hypertensive patients had at least one comorbid condition. The findings underscore the importance of early detection, integrated care, and targeted interventions, which are supported by enhanced diagnostic services, health worker training, and public awareness. Further longitudinal and community-based studies are recommended to explore causality and broader impacts.
