A randomized controlled trial of brain and heart health manager-led mHealth secondary stroke prevention.
Article in Cardiovascular diagnosis and therapy, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 4 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThis study explores the effect of brain and heart health manager (BHHM)-led stroke secondary prevention on blood pressure, and in improving the self-management ability of stroke patients. The BHHM has not been reported.
methodsA total of 200 stroke patients, who were discharged from our hospital, were randomized into two groups at a 1:1 ratio: intervention group and control group. Patients in the control group were followed up for six months via telephone, while patients in the experimental group were followed up for six months using the BHHM-led mHealth follow-up. The primary outcomes were systolic blood pressure (BP) and self-management ability at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months, while the secondary outcomes included medication adherence, the body mass index (BMI), and blood low-density lipoprotein.
resultsThe systolic BP between these two groups at four time points (F
conclusionsThe BHHM-led mHealth follow-up is an effective method for managing BP and improving the self-care ability. Furthermore, this approach has no obvious effect on the management of BMI and blood low-density lipoprotein. A potential signal of efficacy with the intervention was observed.
