Association between encounter frequency and time to blood pressure control among patients with newly diagnosed hypertension: a retrospective cohort study.
Observational study in Journal of clinical hypertension (Greenwich, Conn.), 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07050407 (Impact of Deferred Clinic Visits on Patients With Cardiovascular Comorbidities), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
This retrospective cohort study of 95 957 patients from a large integrated healthcare organization was conducted to examine whether the frequency and intervals between outpatient encounters were associated with achieving blood pressure (BP) control. Patients were followed up until they were censored or achieved BP control up to 1 year. Additionally, this study examined the time to BP control. On average, follow-up was significantly longer in patients with uncontrolled BP at 292.9 days compared with 232.2 days in those with BP control. The controlled BP group had significantly more encounters on average compared with the uncontrolled BP group (4.1 vs 3.1, standardized difference 0.33). As the number of days increased between encounters from the 1 to < 14 days, there was a consistently lower likelihood of achieving BP control. Encounter intervals of ≥180 days were associated with the lowest likelihood of achieving BP control. These findings suggest that there may be an optimal number of encounters to benefit patients with hypertension.
