Opportunities for the Advanced Practice Nurse to Enhance Hypertension Knowledge and Self-management Among African American Women.
Article in Clinical nurse specialist CNS. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
purposeDespite increased awareness and the advent of methods to manage the disease, hypertension is poorly controlled among African American women. This study explored hypertension knowledge and blood pressure in a sample of African American women.
designA descriptive, cross-sectional design was used to collect survey data on hypertension knowledge.
methodsAfrican American women attending a church conference were invited to complete a questionnaire, which included the Check Your High Blood Pressure Prevention IQ survey, and had their blood pressures measured.
resultsOf the 151 women who participated, 62% were diagnosed with hypertension. Many of the women, even those not diagnosed with hypertension, had elevated blood pressures. Although the average scores showed that the women scored well on the survey, there were 4 items on the survey that a percentage of the women had difficulty with: questions about (1) stress as a cause of hypertension, (2) symptoms associated with high blood pressure, (3) whether hypertension could be cured, and (4) the amount of exercise needed to help reduce blood pressure.
conclusionDespite efforts to increase awareness and control of hypertension, considerable misconceptions about the disease were found in this sample of African American women. To improve self-management of hypertension among this group, advanced practice nurses need to directly address these misconceptions.
