1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

More than one million adults in Mississippi have hypertension. We examined the association between a summary measure of social determinants of health (SDOH) and health equity (SDOH/HE) and hypertension prevalence among Mississippi adults. Using data from 3867 respondents to the 2023 Mississippi Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System SDOH/HE Module, we performed multivariable logistic regression analyses to examine the association between hypertension prevalence and a summary SDOH/HE measure. The SDOH/HE summary measure score was created using responses to 10 questions assessing employment/economic and housing stability, receipt of food assistance, access to quality food and transportation, utilities security, social isolation, social and emotional support, life satisfaction, and mental well-being of the participants. The likelihood of experiencing 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4 or more SDOH/HE risk factors was 38.6, 22.9%, 13.7%, 7.9%, and 16.8%, respectively. Mississippi adults experiencing one (adjusted odds ratio, AOR, 1.47) and four or more (AOR, 2.62) of SDOH/HE risk factors had higher odds of hypertension compared to those experiencing no SDOH/HE risk factors. Associations between presence of two or three SDOH/HE risk factors and hypertension were not significant. Mississippi adults with one and at least four SDOH/HE risk factors had significantly higher odds of hypertension risk than those with no SDOH/HE risk factors. These findings highlight an association between SDOH/HE factors and the burden of hypertension and underscore the need for targeted inventions among Mississippi adults with multiple SDOH/HE risk factors.
