The impact of routine follow-up with health care teams on blood pressure control among patients with hypertension.
Article in Journal of human hypertension, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 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
A series of guidelines concerning hypertension emphasize the importance of follow-up in patients' management. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of routine follow-up on blood pressure (BP) control. A total of 1511 patients with hypertension aged ≥ 35 years were selected randomly from 17 communities in two cities and four townships located in Shandong and Jiangsu provinces in China. About half of the patients visited the community clinic four or more times yearly; follow-up was conducted by telephone for 43.3%. Forty-four point two percent of patients who did not visit a community clinic received telephonic follow-up; a higher percentage of telephonic follow-up was found in patients who visited community clinics frequently. Positive changes in BP level and BP control were associated with the number of clinical visits, while no significant correlations were found with telephonic follow-up. After adjustment for covariates, a higher number of clinic visits was associated with better BP control, with odds ratios of 1.628 (95% confidence interval (CI): 1.141-2.322), 1.472 (95% CI: 1.008-2.271), and 1.790 (95% CI: 1.154-2.778) for 4-6, 7-12, and >12 visits/year, respectively. Taking an antihypertensive drug showed a strong, positive association with the number of clinic visits (OR 1.747, 95% CI: 1.484-2.056). These data suggest that health care systems may achieve greater success by increasing the frequency of clinical visits and that the positive changes may be related to improvement in medication adherence. Routine follow-up by telephone was not significantly associated with BP level and BP control.
