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

objectivesBoth depression and hypertension (HTN) are prevalent, costly, and destructive, and frequently coexist among the aging population of China. This study aimed to examine the role that treatment adherence plays in blood pressure control in older adult Chinese with depression.

methodsData for these analyses were taken from a randomized control trial of a collaborative depression care management intervention conducted in rural villages of Zhejiang Province, China with older adults who had comorbid depression and HTN. They included baseline assessments of 2362 subjects ages ≥60 years, whose blood pressure and depression were measured using a calibrated manual sphygmomanometer and the Chinese version of the 17-item Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS-17), respectively. Treatment adherence was identified by a single question asking whether patients on occasion did not take their medicine.

resultsUncontrolled HTN was associated with older age (t = 3.10, P<0.01), higher HDRS-17 score (t = 5.76, P<0.01), and higher rates of non-adherence to HTN treatment (χ

conclusionsHypertension control in older adults with depression is complicated by nonadherence to treatment. In addition to diagnosing and treating depression in their older adult patients, primary care physicians can optimize blood pressure control by identifying and addressing their patients' adherence to recommendations for HTN management.
