Mobile health applications for the management of primary hypertension: A multicenter, randomized, controlled trial.
Trial report in Medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07397260 (Effects of Manually Recorded or Automatically Transmitted Home Blood Pressures With or Without Automated Patient Feedback on Hypertension Care), which is not on this map. Cited by 42 papers, 10 of them syntheses 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.

Abstract
backgroundHypertension is 1 of the major global public health challenges, which means that patients with hypertension need more measures to control their blood pressure. Currently, smart phones and applications are developing rapidly, and mobile health applications are used to manage hypertension, but evidences related to effectiveness are limited.
objectiveThe purpose was to assess the impact of m-Health apps on blood pressure control, medication adherence.
methods480 participants were randomly assigned to the intervention and control groups. The intervention group used the "Yan Fu" app to manage their blood pressure, and the control group did not use any m-Health apps. The outcomes were changes in blood pressure, the percentage of participants with their blood pressure under control and medication adherence.
resultsAt the end of the study, the baseline characteristics between the 2 groups had no statistically differences (P > .05). Participants in the 2 groups all had lower systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure than they did at baseline, and the intervention group demonstrated a significantly greater systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure reduction than the control group (P < .05). Additionally, the percentage of participants with controlled blood pressure was higher in the intervention group (P < .05). The medication adherence of the intervention group was much higher than that of the control group (P < .05).
conclusionM-Health apps are effective for hypertension management, it can favor the medication adherence and blood pressure control. Perhaps m-Health apps can be promoted in the blood pressure control.
trial registrationThis study was registered in the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry under the number ChiCTR-IOR-17012069.
