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

Objectives: Health literacy has been associated with better High Blood Pressure (HBP) self-management. Yet, self-management research has rarely incorporated health literacy as part of the intervention. We aimed to test a health literacy-focused self-management intervention in African Americans (AAs) with HBP. Methods: We conducted a cluster-randomized pilot trial. The intervention consisted of health literacy-focused group education followed by phone counseling. Results: There was no group difference for BP at 12 weeks. However, change in BP control rates from baseline to follow-up was greater for the intervention group than the control group (47.3% vs. 20.8%) after controlling for age. HBP literacy also increased in the intervention group but remained unchanged in the control group, though the difference was not statistically significant. Conclusion: While we did not observe group difference for HBP outcomes, there was a clear trend of improved BP control in the intervention group. Implications for future research are discussed.
