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

aimMembers of the working groups on hypertension or cardiovascular disease of the Spanish Societies of Primary Care Physicians (PCPs) [SEMERGEN], Family and Community Medicine [semFYC] and General and Family Physicians [SEMG], conducted a Delphi study to validate with a panel of PCPs with expertise in hypertension several recommendations to optimize teleconsultation in hypertensive patients. MATERIALS AND

methodsDelphi study based on an online questionnaire with 59 recommendations based on the available evidence and the clinical experience of the authors.

results118 PCPs participated in two rounds of the questionnaire (98.3% of the invited physicians), reaching consensus in 53/62 statements (85%). The Primary Care team must proactively select the hypertensive patients suitable for telematic consultation and contact them to set up an appointment. Telematic consultation must begin explaining the reason and aims pursued, continuing with anamnesis, which must explore signs and symptoms of disease worsening, current treatments and level of adherence. In patients with a home blood pressure measurement (HBPM) ≤135/85mmHg, it is recommended to schedule a new telematic appointment in 3-6months. On the contrary, asymptomatic patients with a HBPM ≥135/85mmHg should undergo ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, treatment modification or, in case of warning signs or symptoms, referral to a face-to-face visit or to emergency department.

conclusionsTeleconsultation can complement face-to-face consultation, constituting an additional tool for the appropriate follow-up of hypertensive patients.
