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

backgroundLifestyle modification is recommended for all patients with the diagnosis of hypertension.

methodsWe examined 3,497 adult hypertensive participants (representing 42 million Americans), from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 1999-2004. We analyzed the rate, demographic, and clinical factors of participants who reported receiving lifestyle counseling and their adherence.

resultsOf the 3,497 participants with hypertension, 84% reported receiving lifestyle modification counseling. After adjustment for demographic and clinical characteristics, non-Hispanic blacks were more likely to report receiving counseling (odds ratio (OR), 2.5; P < 0.001) when compared to whites. Men (OR, 1.5; P = 0.02) reported receiving counseling more often than women as well as those with Medicare insurance (OR, 1.5; P = 0.02) compared to the privately insured. Participants who were hypercholesterolemic (OR, 1.7; P < 0.001), diabetic (OR, 3.5; P < 0.001), overweight (OR, 1.5; P < 0.001), or obese (OR 3.0; P < 0.001) reported receiving lifestyle counseling more often than those without these conditions. Of those receiving counseling, 88% reported adhering to those recommendations. After adjustment for demographic and clinical characteristics, only non-Hispanic blacks (OR, 2.8; P < 0.001) and those aged >60 (OR, 1.9; P = 0.04) were more likely to report adhering when advised.

conclusionsHigh cardiovascular risk hypertensive patients had high rates of lifestyle counseling. However, gaps exist in lifestyle counseling for young and low cardiovascular risk hypertensive patients. In addition, differences in rates of adherence exist especially in those with high cardiovascular risk comorbid conditions. Future work is needed to increase adherence to lifestyle counseling for all hypertensive patients.
