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 and Aims: Hypertension is a major global health concern, particularly among older adults; however, comprehensive data on hypertension management in this population remain limited in Iran. This study aims to investigate factors associated with hypertension awareness, treatment, and control in adults aged 50 and older in Ardakan City, Iran. Methods: This cross-sectional study utilized data from the 2020 Ardakan Cohort Study on Aging, a subset of the Iranian Longitudinal Study on Aging. A stratified random sampling method was used to recruit 2333 hypertensive participants aged 50 years or older from the general population. Data were collected through validated questionnaires, medical interviews, and standardized blood pressure measurements. Prevalence estimates of hypertension awareness, treatment, control through lifestyle modifications, and control among treated individuals were calculated. Multivariable logistic regression models were applied to identify independent predictive factors while adjusting for potential confounding variables. Results: Participants (mean age: 62.8 ± 7.6 years; 48.7% women) demonstrated varying prevalence estimates for hypertension management: 84% were aware, 81% were treated with anti-hypertensive medication, and 60% achieved blood pressure control. Women exhibited a significantly higher prevalence of hypertension management than men, including awareness (52.8% vs. 47.2%, Conclusion: This study highlights the need for targeted interventions to improve hypertension management among adults aged 50 years or older, as only slightly over half of treated individuals achieve the blood pressure control goal. Addressing both physical and mental health aspects is critical for enhancing hypertension outcomes in this population.
