The Association between Changes in Behavioral Risk Factors for Stroke and Changes in Blood Pressure.
Article in Journal of stroke and cerebrovascular diseases : the official journal of National Stroke Association, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundHigh blood pressure (BP) is the leading risk factor for stroke. Data on the association of physical activity (PA), fruit and vegetable (F&V) consumption, and dietary sodium with hypertension are lacking in Hispanic communities. In the current report, we provide data on the association between changes in these stroke behavioral risk factors and BP change.
methodsParticipants were recruited from participating Catholic churches in Nueces County, Texas. BP was measured, and self-reported validated scales of F&V consumption, dietary sodium, and PA were collected at baseline and at 12 months. Linear mixed models were used to examine the associations between tertiles of improvement in the 3 behavior outcomes and BP change, adjusted for demographic characteristics. The association between the binary measure of at least 5 mmHg diastolic blood pressure (DBP) or 10 mmHg systolic blood pressure (SBP) reduction and behavior change was estimated with multilevel logistic regression models.
resultsOf 586 participants, 66% were female and 82% were Mexican American (MA), and the mean age was 54 years. High compared with low change in PA was significantly associated with DBP change (P = .022), and high compared with low change in F&V intake was significantly associated with SBP change (P = .032). For the binary changes in DBP or SBP, there was a borderline association of PA (P = .054); all other variables were not associated (P > .10).
conclusionsPA and F&V consumption are potential stroke prevention targets in predominantly MA populations.
