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.

Abstract
Introduction: Clinicians counsel patients on medication adherence and behavioral risk factors to achieve optimal blood pressure levels and reduce the risk of hypertension-related complications. There has been little research on the risk of health-related quality of life and perceived social support in hypertensive patients' compliance with clinician counseling. As a result, the purpose of this study is to assess hypertensive patients' compliance to clinician counseling. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted of 384 hypertensive patients during their clinical visit using simple random sampling. An interview-administered questionnaire was employed as a means of data collection tools. The poor compliance status of hypertensive patients was computed from poor medication adherence, sedentary lifestyle, smoking, drinking alcohol, 'Khat' chewing, and high salt intake. The adjusted odds ratio with a 95% confidence interval was used to calculate the strength of the association between poor compliance with clinicians' counseling and independent predictors using logistic regression analysis. In multivariable logistic regression analysis, a P-value of less than 0.05 was judged statistically significant. Findings: A total of 368 study participants were included in this study. The prevalence of poor compliance towards clinicians counseling in hypertensive patients with a 95% CI was 83.2% [78.93-86.83]. In a multivariable analysis adjusted odds ratio with 95% CI being self-employed 2.68 (1.19-6.03), the psychological domain of health-related quality of life 0.89 (0.83-0.96) and low social support 3.85 (1.34-10.64) were the predictors of poor compliance towards clinician counseling. Conclusion: Most hypertensive patients on antihypertensive treatment had poor compliance towards clinician counseling. Self-employed, psychological domains, and social support are the factors that affect poor compliance towards clinician counseling.
