Longitudinal control of blood pressure among a cohort of Ghanaians with hypertension: A multicenter, hospital-based study.
Article in Journal of clinical hypertension (Greenwich, Conn.), 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
There are limited data on factors associated with longitudinal control of blood pressure (BP) among Ghanaians on antihypertensive treatment. We sought to evaluate associations between prospective BP control and 24 putative factors within socio-demographic, biological, and organizational domains. This is a cohort study involving 1867 (65%) adults with hypertension and 1006 (35%) with both hypertension and diabetes mellitus at five public hospitals. Clinic BP was measured every 2 months for 18 months of follow-up. A multivariate logistic regression analysis was fitted via generalized linear mixed models to identify factors associated with clinic BP ≥ 140/90 mm Hg at each clinic visit during follow-up. Mean age of study participants was 58.9 ± 16.6 years and 76.8% were females. Proportions with controlled BP increased from 46.3% at baseline to 59.8% at month 18, P < .0001. Eight factors with adjusted OR (95% CI) associated prospectively with uncontrolled BP were male gender: 1.37 (1.09-1.72), secondary education: 1.32 (1.00-1.74), non-adherence to antihypertensive treatment: 1.03 (1.00-1.06), fruit intake: 0.94 (0.89-1.00), duration of hypertension diagnosis: 1.01 (1.00-1.02), hypertension with diabetes mellitus: 2.05 (1.72-2.46), number of antihypertensive medications: 1.63 (1.49-1.79), and estimated glomerular filtration rate (mL/min rise): 0.82 (0.76-0.89). Interventions aimed at addressing modifiable factors associated with poorly controlled BP would be critical in prevention of cardiovascular diseases among Ghanaians.
