Trends in Hypertension Prevalence and Control in the United States Over 25 Years.

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
Despite sustained public health efforts, hypertension remains highly prevalent in the United States, with persistent disparities across demographic and socioeconomic groups. We examined 25-year trends in hypertension prevalence, undiagnosed hypertension, and on-treatment uncontrolled hypertension in the United States using nationally representative National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data from adults aged ≥18 years. Hypertension was defined as systolic BP ≥130 mmHg, diastolic BP ≥80 mmHg, or current antihypertensive use. Undiagnosed hypertension was defined as elevated BP without prior diagnosis or treatment, while on-treatment uncontrolled hypertension was defined as diagnosed hypertension with BP ≥130/80 mmHg despite treatment. Survey-weighted generalized linear models were used to estimate adjusted prevalence ratios (PRs), accounting for age, sex, race and ethnicity, family income-to-poverty threshold ratio, and study period, with interaction terms to assess differential temporal trends. Among 61,847 participants (51.7% women; 21.0% Black; 25.1% Hispanic; 23.2% aged >65 years), adjusted hypertension prevalence was 44.3% (95% CI: 43.6-44.9) and remained stable over time (p for trend = 0.50). Relative to >65 years adults, hypertension prevalence increased significantly over time among the younger groups. Compared to White adults, Black adults had higher hypertension prevalence (52.7% vs 44.7%; p < 0.001), and Hispanic adults experienced a greater increase in prevalence over time. Among individuals with hypertension, undiagnosed hypertension declined from 46.4% to 41.5%, and on-treatment uncontrolled hypertension declined from 74.7% to 63.9% (both p < 0.001). Despite improvements in diagnosis and treatment control, hypertension prevalence remains high, with persistent sociodemographic disparities highlighting the need for targeted and equity-focused interventions.
