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

Hypertension is a worldwide epidemic that affects healthcare costs and public health. As a result, self-management of this disease and, in this context, mobile health (mHealth) can be used as a cost-effective management tool. Self-management of hypertension remains of great significance due to the rising number of hypertension cases. As a result, this study aimed to assess the various mobile health interventions used in the self-management of hypertension, their user acceptability, compliance, and adherence to hypertension treatment, and their effectiveness. Some mobile health techniques are automated text and video messages. These mobile applications allow for self-monitoring and communication between the patients and the health service providers, reminders, and automated signals. The abovementioned interventions are promising tools in helping manage blood pressure (BP), but resources are limited. This review involved selecting studies associated with mobile health interventions in managing hypertension and extracting data from available resources. Thirteen studies were selected using the inclusion criteria, and relevant data were extracted and discussed in the review. This review reported the role of mobile health interventions in the management of blood pressure, as most studies noted a decrease in blood pressure and increased medication adherence and self-efficacy. It also reported a reliable communication channel between the participants and their health service providers.
