Awareness, treatment, control of hypertension and utilization of health care services following screening in the North-central region of Burkina Faso.
Article in The Pan African medical journal, 2014. 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.
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
introductionIn Africa, a non-urban area is affected by hypertension. But in Burkina Faso, no study on factors associated with awareness, treatment and control of hypertension has not yet been published. The objectives of this report are to: (i) identify the factors associated with awareness, treatment, and control of hypertension in the adult population of Kaya health and demographic surveillance system (Kaya HDSS) and (ii) estimate health care services utilization by participant newly screened as hypertensive.
methodsA screening survey for hypertension was conducted on 1481 adults in Kaya HDSS in late 2012. Hypertensive individuals provided information relating to "awareness", "treatment" and "control" of their hypertension. After approximately two months, unaware hypertensive individuals were interviewed to know whether they had sought treatment.
resultsDuring the screening survey, 123 individuals (9.4%) were identified as having hypertension. Among them, 33 (26.8%, 95% CI: 18.9-34.8) were aware of their condition, 25 (75.8%, 95% CI: 60.3-91.2) of them were receiving medication. Among those receiving treatment, 15 (60.0%, 95% CI: 39.4-80.6) had their blood pressure controlled. Semi-urban residence, presence of chronic diseases and physical inactivity were significantly associated with awareness of hypertension. Seventy two of the 90 participants who were classified as unaware were interviewed two months later. Out of them, 37 individuals had consulted a health worker and 28 received a diagnosis of hypertension.
conclusionAwareness was low but treatment and control of those who knew they were hypertensive were relatively high. These results could be used to improve management of hypertension in Burkina Faso.
