The Translation, Reliability and Validity of the Chinese Version of the Hill-Bone Compliance to High Blood Pressure Therapy Scale in Adults with Hypertension.
Article in Patient preference and adherence, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
objectiveTo assess the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of the Hill-Bone compliance to high blood pressure therapy scale (HBTS) for use in adults with hypertension in China.
methodsTo develop a Chinese version of the study scale, it was translated into Chinese then back-translated into English. The final version was used in a survey conducted between Jan and June 2019 in a hospital in Xi'an, China. Reliability was assessed by using the Cronbach's alpha as a measure of analyzing the internal consistency. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was performed to assess the validity of the Chinese scale.
resultsThe EFA revealed a four-component structure representing two of medication taking; appointment keeping and reduced sodium intake. Percentages of explained variance were 37.55%, 52.77%, 65.24% and 73.97%, respectively. All questions have factor loadings >0.4. The Cronbach's alpha score for the entire questionnaire was 0.857.
conclusionThe Chinese Hill-Bone scale (HBTS-C) is a valid and reliable instrument for measuring adherence among Chinese with hypertension. Use of this screening tool for the assessment of adherence to hypertension treatment is recommended.
