Relationship between hypertension with irrational health beliefs and health locus of control.
Article in Journal of education and health promotion, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
introductionHypertension is one of the major health threats in the world today. The purpose of this study was to find the relationship between hypertension with irrational health belief and health locus of controls. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe current work is a descriptive (case-control) study. One hundred patients with hypertension and 100 healthy individuals were included in the study through available sampling method. The Irrational Health Belief Scale and Multidimensional Health Locus of Control questionnaire were used. Data were analyzed using independent
resultsThe findings showed a significant relationship between the variables of irrational health beliefs and the external health locus of control in hypertension. For a unit increase in an irrational health belief score, the chance of having high blood pressure increases by 6%, and for a unit increase in the score of external health locus of control, there is a 17% higher chance of having hypertension. The independent
conclusionThe results of this study make it necessary to identify irrational health beliefs as well as the health locus of control in individuals. Modification of these structures can be useful in the prevention and management of this chronic disease.
