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

Home blood pressure monitoring (HBPM) has been shown to provide a more reliable assessment of blood pressure (BP) than in-office measurement and may lead to improved BP control. While many mHealth apps are available to help users track their blood pressure (BP), no apps incorporate the full set of evidence-based HBPM recommendations for ensuring accurate measurement at home. Through an agile development approach employing user stories, we translated an evidence-based standardized protocol for BP measurement and monitoring over a recommended 3-7 day monitoring period into a mHealth app and corresponding clinician portal. We then pilot tested this platform to assess its feasibility for guiding users to measure BP over multiple days according to this protocol. During this pilot testing, one hundred and twenty five users created an app account; 75 (60.0%) of these users recorded at least one BP reading and 47 (37.6%) completed at least one monitoring period. Through this work, we have demonstrated how a series of guidelines can be systematically translated into a mHealth platform for HBPM. Such platforms may be accessible resources to facilitate standardized HBPM and sharing of readings with providers.
