Using health information technology to improve hypertension management.
Review in Current hypertension reports, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT00374452 (VISN Collaborative for Improving Hypertension Management With ATHENA-HTN), which is not on this map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
High-quality medical care requires implementing evidence-based best practices, with continued monitoring to improve performance. Implementation science is beginning to identify approaches to developing, implementing, and evaluating quality improvement strategies across health care systems that lead to good outcomes for patients. Health information technology has much to contribute to quality improvement for hypertension, particularly as part of multidimensional strategies for improved care. Clinical reminders closely aligned with organizational commitment to quality improvement may be one component of a successful strategy for improving blood pressure control. The ATHENA-Hypertension (Assessment and Treatment of Hypertension: Evidence-based Automation) system is an example of more complex clinical decision support. It is feasible to implement and deploy innovative health information technologies for clinical decision support with features such as clinical data visualizations and evidence to support specific recommendations. Further study is needed to determine the optimal contexts for such systems and their impact on patient outcomes.
