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

The majority of hypertension detection and management in Canada is provided by family physicians. Although various organizations have called attention to the poor rates of hypertension detection and control on a worldwide basis, the tools and infrastructure that allow for better hypertension management have generally been lacking in primary care. Recent advances in the fields of primary care and chronic disease management have led to the development of frameworks wherein chronic diseases such as hypertension can be more effectively managed. Such paradigms integrate the primary care physician, the specialist, technologies, and a wide variety of health system and community resources to provide optimal care to the patient with hypertension. The present review highlights many of the advances in primary health care delivery in Canada that apply to hypertension.
