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

Arterial hypertension (AH) is one of the most common cardiovascular diseases increasing mortality rates in Poland and worldwide. Due to its prevalence, complications and treatment costs, AH is a significant health-related, economic and social problem. The aim of this study was to assess the level of acceptance of illness and compliance with therapeutic recommendations in patients with AH. The study included 200 outpatient hypertensive patients, 85 men and 115 women aged 49.1 ± 11.6, and used the standardized acceptance of illness (AIS), the eight-item Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-8) and author's design questionnaires. The level of acceptance of illness was found to be as follows: higher in men than in women, unaffected by comorbidities or sociodemographic factors such as residence and professional activity, decreasing with age, and correlating negatively with the duration of antihypertensive therapy. The level of adherence and compliance did not affect the AIS score and increased with the level of education. The study population demonstrated an overall good level of acceptance of illness. Men were characterized by lower levels of adherence and compliance. Patients with AH presented a moderate level of adherence and compliance, which indicates the need for providing active education, support and extensive cooperation facilitating their conformity to therapeutic recommendations.
