Review in The Canadian journal of cardiology, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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 Canadian Hypertension Education Program (CHEP) is a unique Canadian initiative to improve awareness, treatment and control of hypertension through the education of health care professionals. It is the culmination of an over 30-year effort in the development of hypertension management recommendations in Canada. Important transitions in this evolution included adoption of a consensus approach, rigorous evidence grading, enhanced dissemination strategies, recommendation consolidation, sophisticated adjudication procedures, an annual process and the 'branding' of the effort as a distinct entity. CHEP is composed of expert health care 'volunteers', organized via steering, executive and central review committees, in conjunction with three task forces: the Recommendations Task Force, the Implementation Task Force and the Outcomes Research Task Force. CHEP espouses philosophies that strengthen effectiveness and cohesion: multiple partnerships, stakeholders, supporters and multidisciplinary participants ensure that key messages are disseminated with great impact to broad audiences. Over the past 10 years, there have been unprecedented advances in the treatment of hypertension and the reduction of related diseases in Canada. CHEP, a likely contributor, is being increasingly viewed as an international model for knowledge translation.
