Correlates of self-care behaviors for managing hypertension among Korean Americans: a questionnaire survey.
Article in International journal of nursing studies, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 32 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundWhile self-care behaviors have been documented as one of the main determinant of hypertension control, studies investigating correlates of self-care behaviors have been rare regarding hypertension among minority population.
objectivesThe purpose of this study was to examine factors associated with self-care behaviors for hypertension using a community sample of Korean Americans.
designA descriptive cross-sectional design. SETTINGS: Community setting in the Baltimore-Washington metropolitan area.
participantsThe sample included 445 middle-aged (40-64 years of age) Korean Americans with hypertension (systolic BP > or = 140 and/or diastolic BP > or = 90 mmHg; or taking antihypertensive medication).
methodsGuided by Social Cognitive Theory, a variety of personal (age, gender, marital status, employment status, years in U.S., duration of hypertension, hypertension knowledge, hypertension belief, and hypertension control self-efficacy) and environmental (social support) factors were examined in relation to hypertension self-care behaviors, including medication-taking, exercise, diet, and weight control.
resultsThe model explained 18.0% of the total variance in self-care scores. Hierarchical multiple regression revealed that personal factors contributed significantly to the explanatory model, whereas social support did not add much. Examination of individual regression coefficients showed that Korean Americans who were older, who had longer duration of hypertension, and who had higher hypertension control self-efficacy were more likely to have higher self-care scores.
conclusionsHypertension control self-efficacy emerged as the most significant contributing factor to hypertension self-care. Future intervention programs should focus on improving hypertension control self-efficacy as a modifiable personal factor.
