The Effectiveness of Home Blood Pressure on 24-Hour Blood Pressure Control: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Trial report in American journal of hypertension, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundHome blood pressure monitoring (HBPM) is cited as an effective approach for improving blood pressure control. The objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness of HBPM combined with a health education session in reducing blood pressure and improving medication adherence among adults with hypertension.
methodsTwo hundred thirteen participants were enrolled in a 3-month study and randomized to receive HBPM or usual care. Participants were also randomized to receive an educational session delivered using a pamphlet or a computer-based program. Topics of the educational session included preventing hypertension, managing weight, staying active, and cutting down on salt and fat.
resultsAt the 3-month follow-up, there was a reduction in ambulatory blood pressure among the HBPM group. However, the differences found within the HBPM group were no greater than those found among the control group. We did not detect a statistically significant difference in adherence to medication when comparing the HBPM to the usual care group.
conclusionsHBPM and educational session did not lower blood pressure or improve medication adherence in our sample. A greater effect may have been seen if coupled with an enhanced educational intervention and if blood pressure measures were shared with the provided. The findings of this study provide useful insights for future HBPM studies.
