Negative Effects of COVID-19 in Hypertensive and Diabetic Patients: A Pre-Post Study.
Article in Health science reports, 2026. 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
Background and Aims: Restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic significantly affected the global population, particularly those with chronic conditions such as hypertension and diabetes, where lifestyle changes could have disrupted disease management. This study analyzes the association between reduced physical activity (PA) and variations in physical parameters, treatment adherence, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Methods: A pre-post study design was conducted from March 2019 to June 2021 in a Basic Health Area of central Spain. Clinical parameters (blood pressure, BMI, and HbA1c), PA levels, treatment adherence, and HRQoL (SF-12) were measured in 152 patients before and after the lockdown. Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used to compare mean differences across PA categories (quartiles), controlling for age and sex. Results: One year after the start of the lockdown, participants showed an increase in systolic blood pressure ( Conclusions: Negative consequences of the pandemic remain observable 1 year after the lockdown in this population. Higher levels of physical activity are associated with mitigating some of these effects. However, due to the study design, caution is required when making direct causal interpretations.
