Phone-based Intervention under Nurse Guidance after Stroke (PINGS): study protocol for a randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in Trials, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02568137 (Phone-based Intervention Under Nurse Guidance After Stroke), which is not on this map. Cited by 29 papers, 3 of them syntheses 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.

Abstract
backgroundHypertension is the premier modifiable risk factor for recurrent stroke. In sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) where the stroke burden is escalating, little is known about the role of behavioral interventions in enhancing blood pressure (BP) control after stroke. Our objective is to test whether an m-Health technology-enabled, nurse-led, multilevel integrated approach is effective in improving BP control among Ghanaian stroke patients within 1 month of symptom onset compared with standard of care.
methodsThis two-arm cluster randomized controlled feasibility pilot trial will involve 60 recent-stroke survivors. Using a computer-generated sequence, patients will be randomly allocated into four clusters of 15 patients each per physician: two clusters in the intervention arm and two in the control arm. Patients in the intervention arm will receive a simple pillbox, a Blue-toothed UA-767Plus BT BP device and smartphone for monitoring and reporting BP measurements and medication intake under nurse guidance for 3 months. Tailored motivational text messages will be delivered based upon levels of adherence to the medication intake. Both groups will be followed up for 6 months to compare BP control at months 3, 6 and 9 as primary outcome measure. Physicians assessing BP control will be blinded to arms into which patients are allocated. Secondary outcome measures will include medication adherence scores and Competence and Autonomous Self-regulation Scale scores. A qualitative study is planned after follow-up to explore the lived experiences of participants in the intervention arm. DISCUSSION: A feasible and preliminarily effective intervention would lead to a larger more definitive efficacy/effectiveness randomized controlled trial powered to look at clinical events, with the potential to reduce stroke-related morbidity and mortality in a low- to middle-income country.
