Hypertension related knowledge and behaviour associated with awareness, treatment and control of hypertension in a rural hypertensive population: a community based, cross-sectional survey.
Article in Blood pressure, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
BACKGROUND AND
objectiveHypertension-related knowledge and behaviour have been identified as influential factors associated with awareness, treatment and control of hypertension in urban regions. However, there were few studies on rural areas. This study aims to investigate whether hypertension related knowledge and behaviour were associated with hypertension awareness, treatment and control in Gaoyou, a rural area of Jiangsu province, China.
methodsA cross-sectional, population-based survey was conducted among hypertensive individuals in rural areas of Gaoyou, the south-eastern of China in 2010. We identified 1943 subjects with hypertension among 4536 subjects participated in this study and collected information about medical history, use of medication, hypertension related knowledge and behaviour by a standardized questionnaire.
resultsThis study showed that 41.07% of subjects were aware of their disease, 30.01% of subjects were taking antihypertensive medication and 5.04% of subjects controlled their blood pressure. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that subjects who knew the threshold, the lifelong treatment of hypertension and measured blood pressure at least once a year had better detection, treatment or control of hypertension.
conclusionHypertension related knowledge and behaviour were associated with awareness, treatment and control rate of hypertension in the rural areas of south-eastern China.
