1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the healthy lifestyle behaviors in hypertensive patients (aware, n = 1364 and not aware, n = 1213) based on 2011 national survey of risk factors of non-communicable disease (SuRFNCD) of Iran. Lifestyle score was calculated based on lifestyle behaviors, including smoking status, nutrition, physical activity status and body mass index separately for each patient. Of all aware patients, 27.79% (22.35-33.64) were adherence to the good lifestyle category. Almost the same percentage 29.24% (23.62-34.86) were observed in patients who were not aware of his/her illness. Moreover, adherence to good lifestyle is significantly higher in those who were aware without using antihypertensive medication (30.52% vs. 27.14%; p-value = 0.033). We also found that the prevalence of good lifestyle among patients with controlled hypertension is significantly higher than those who did not control his/her hypertension (32.54% vs. 27.59; p-value = 0.042). In people who were taking antihypertensive medication, adherence to healthy lifestyle did not have any significant relationship with the control of hypertension. The results of this study showed that awareness of hypertension did not improve people's lifestyle. However, those who aware, but not using any antihypertensive medications are able to control his/her level of blood pressure better than those using medications.
