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

Uncontrolled blood pressure (BP) has been associated with increased risk of cardiovascular events including heart failure. This study aimed to explore the factors associated with poor BP control among patients with heart failure at two major outpatient cardiology clinics in Jordan. Variables including socio-demographics, biomedical variables, in addition to disease and medication characteristics were collected using medical records and custom-designed questionnaire. The validated 4-item Medication Adherence Scale was used to assess medication adherence. Binary logistic regression analysis was conducted to explore the significant and independent predictors of poor BP control. Regression analysis results revealed that being not satisfied with the prescribed medication (OR = 2.882; 95% CI: 1.458-5.695; P < 0.01), reporting moderate medication adherence (OR = 0.203; 95% CI: 22 0.048-0.863; P < 0.05), not receiving digoxin (OR = 3.423; 95% CI: 1.346-8.707; P < 0.05), and not receiving aldosterone antagonist (OR = 2.044; 95% CI: 1.038-4.025; P < 0.05) were associated with poor BP control. Future interventions should focus on increasing medication satisfaction and enhancing medication adherence, in order to improve BP control among patients with heart failure.
