Educational attainment does not modify the effect of educational interventions on blood pressure control: a secondary analysis of data from a randomised trial.
Article in JRSM open, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectivesTo assess whether the effects of community-based educational interventions to improve blood pressure, weight and health behaviours benefit participants with lower educational levels more than those with higher educational levels.
designSecondary data analysis.
settingTwo 12-month community-based educational interventions, one led by trained peers and one delivered by health professionals.
participantsA total of 403 hypertensive individuals, grouped by education (high school or less; 1-3 years college; 4 + years college).
main outcome measuresBlood pressure, weight, physical activity and fruit and vegetable intake.
resultsWe found that changes in blood pressure, weight and physical activity were similar across education levels; college graduates consumed more daily servings of fruits and vegetables at baseline (3.7 versus 3.6 for those with 12-15 years and 3.1 for those with < 12 years, p = 0.0112), and increased intake more after the intervention (+0.4 versus -0.1 and -0.1, p = 0.0142). The two methods of delivery - peer-led versus professional - had similar effects on all measures.
conclusionsWe conclude that educational interventions, whether delivered by peers or professionals, may improve chronic disease self-management among participants but do not confer greater benefits on participants with lower educational levels.
