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

introductionThere is inadequate information on blood pressure (BP) and FBG (Blood pressure and Fasting blood glucose) control among adult hypertensive patients in Southern Ethiopia.

aimTo determine the level and factors associated with poor BP and FBG control among adult hypertensive patients on regular follow-up at three public hospitals

resultsWe included 406 adult hypertensives with mean age of 55.87 ± 11.03 years. Mean systolic BP was 134.46 ± 13.44 mmHg; and mean diastolic BP was 82.10 ± 9.44 mmHg. More than eight out of 205 (86.2%) of patients did not achieve BP and FBG target level. Having body mass index 18-24.9 kg/m

conclusionsThe level of BP and FBG control was low. Improving screening of hypertensive patients for diabetes; addressing obesity and mental health; strengthening healthy life style interventions and enhancing appropriate dose intensification of prescribed anti-hypertensives by responsible bodies are critical to improve BP and FBG control.
