Review in Current hypertension reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

purpose of reviewTelehealth interventions for alcohol misuse may be especially impactful in hypertensive populations because of the increased blood pressure associated with alcohol overconsumption. This review examines emerging telehealth interventions for alcohol misuse and categorizes them according to phases of the treatment process. RECENT

findingsEvidence for telehealth cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is preliminary but suggests it is efficacious and increased access to treatment. Evidence for contingency management (CM) is growing, and mobile adaptation of CM for alcohol misuse suggests it is efficacious in initial abstinence induction. Evidence for mobile health (mHealth) texts and applications is large and variable but generally suggests it is efficacious for reducing alcohol misuse and relapse prevention. Variability in telehealth interventions for alcohol misuse may hinder conclusion implementation. Matching specific telehealth interventions with phases of alcohol misuse treatment and focusing on high-impact populations (i.e., those with hypertension) may maximize benefits on population health.
