Awareness of hypertension: will it bring about a healthy lifestyle?
Article in Journal of human hypertension, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
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
Guidelines for cardiovascular disease prevention recommend a non-pharmacological approach to reduce cardiovascular risk in those with elevated blood pressure. We assessed guideline adherence in hypertensives. This study was performed in the European Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition-NL cohort, consisting of 40,011 subjects. From 1993 to 1997, participants completed questionnaires (disease history, lifestyle and diet), a physical examination was performed and blood samples were drawn. Differences in proportions of guideline targets met between aware and unaware hypertensives were studied. Of 8779 hypertensive subjects, 90% was aware of their hypertension. They more often adhered to guidelines than unaware hypertensive subjects with respect to intake of polyunsaturated fat:saturated fat (38.6% vs 33.2%), fibres (40.6% vs 34.2%), body mass index <27 kg m(-2) (53.8% vs 46.5%) and alcohol (79.7% vs 72.6%). Despite statistical significance, the magnitude of these differences was small. Our study suggests that prevalence of a healthy lifestyle according to the recommendations in guidelines is slightly better in subjects aware of hypertension. There seems to be ample room for improvement in implementing the guidelines. Probably, patient tailored interventions and a multisiciplinary and multimodality approach can support this improvement.
