Temporal Trends in Cardiometabolic Control Among Canadian Adults: A Comparative Analysis of Hypertension and Diabetes Using the Canadian Health Measures Survey (CHMS) 2008-2019.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundHypertension and diabetes remain major contributors to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in Canada. Monitoring their trends is critical to evaluating public health progress in prevention and disease management.
objectiveTo descriptively summarize published Canadian Health Measures Survey (CHMS) estimates on the prevalence, awareness, treatment, and control of hypertension and diabetes among Canadian adults aged 20-79 years across the 2008-2019 survey cycles.
methodsDescriptive analysis was conducted using aggregated CHMS combined-cycle data (2008-2011, 2012-2015, and 2016-2019). Weighted proportions and absolute counts published by Statistics Canada were organized and analyzed in Stata version 18. Data were stratified by sex and age group, and graphical visualization was applied to highlight temporal and demographic patterns.
resultsHypertension prevalence remained stable over time, accompanied by modest improvements in treatment and control rates. Conversely, diabetes prevalence continued to rise, with limited gains in glycemic control. These patterns suggest differential progress in managing cardiometabolic conditions among Canadian adults.
conclusionNational strategies appear to have improved hypertension outcomes but less effectively addressed diabetes control. Strengthening preventive interventions, enhancing primary care integration, and improving access to chronic disease management resources remain essential for advancing cardiometabolic health in Canada.
