Association of blood pressure control, lifestyle and socioeconomic status with self-rated health in patients with hypertension: a national cross-sectional study.

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
objectivesTo examine demographic, behavioural and clinical determinants of self-rated health (SRH) among Iranian adults with hypertension (HTN), with a particular focus on the association between blood pressure (BP) control and perceived health.
designNational cross-sectional analysis of 15 predictors spanning demographic, lifestyle and clinical domains.
setting2021 Iranian STEPwise Approach to Non-communicable Disease Risk Factor Surveillance, a nationally representative survey.
participantsA total of 8812 adults with HTN (mean age 56.97 years; 57% female). Controlled HTN was defined as systolic blood pressure <140 mm Hg and diastolic blood pressure <90 mm Hg among individuals on antihypertensive therapy. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES: The primary outcome was SRH, measured on a standard EuroQol-Visual Analogue Scale (0-100).
resultsControlled HTN was independently associated with higher SRH scores (β=1.31, 95% CI 0.07 to 2.54). Positive predictors of SRH included male gender (β=4.34, 95% CI 3.38 to 5.31), higher wealth (richest vs poorest: β=5.52, 95% CI 4.06 to 6.97), sufficient physical activity (β=4.38, 95% CI 3.48 to 5.28), healthier diet (β=3.06, 95% CI 1.99 to 4.14) and complementary insurance coverage (β=2.50, 95% CI 0.63 to 4.37). Significant negative predictors included diabetes mellitus (β=-4.23, 95% CI -5.59 to -3.26), dyslipidaemia (β=-3.61, 95% CI -4.62 to -2.59), people who smoke (β=-4.21, 95% CI -5.64 to -2.78) and older age. Notably, antihypertensive medication use showed one of the strongest negative associations with SRH (monotherapy: β=-4.83; combination therapy: β=-5.28), likely reflecting underlying disease severity and treatment burden.
conclusionsBetter SRH among hypertensive adults was associated with controlled BP, healthier lifestyle patterns and higher socioeconomic status. Conversely, comorbidities, smoking, older age and antihypertensive treatment were linked to poorer perceived health. Integrating SRH screening into HTN management may help identify vulnerable individuals and inform targeted interventions addressing behavioural and socioeconomic determinants of health.
