Sustainability of blood pressure reduction in black barbershops.
Review in Current opinion in cardiology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
purpose of reviewThe prevalence of hypertension (HTN) among non-Hispanic blacks increased from 41 to 55% with the release of the new 2017 ACC/AHA guidelines - the highest among any racial group. Non-Hispanic black men have less physician interaction and lower blood pressure (BP) treatment and control rates when compared with their female counterparts, necessitating community outreach. Here, we review the Los Angeles Barbershop Blood Pressure Study (LABBPS) which demonstrated a community-based approach involving pharmacists, physicians, and barbers could improve BP control rates among black men. RECENT
findingsLABBPS was a cluster-randomized trial that evaluated both the efficacy and sustainability of a pharmacist-led HTN management program in which barbers promoted follow-up with pharmacists who prescribed antihypertensive therapy under collaborative practice agreements with intervention participant's primary care providers. After 6 months researchers observed a 21 mmHg greater fall in SBP among intervention group participants when compared with the control group participants who received 'usual care.' The 6-month extension phase of the study showed that the impressive BP reduction achieved was sustained with less pharmacist contact. SUMMARY: Multidisciplinary, community-based approaches to HTN management can be effective and are necessary to tackle the current disparity seen in BP control rates. The model developed in LABBPS represents one such approach.
