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

In this pilot study, the authors investigated the preliminary effectiveness of the digital lifestyle intervention, actensio (mementor DE GmbH), in treating arterial hypertension. Adults with arterial hypertension were randomly assigned to an intervention group (actensio + standard care) or a control group (waiting list + standard care) in a 1:1 ratio. Primary and secondary endpoints were assessed at baseline (t0) and 3 months post-randomization (t1). The primary endpoint was average systolic blood pressure, measured at home for 1 week. Secondary endpoints included patient engagement (measured using the "patient activation measure"; PAM-13), average diastolic blood pressure, and heart rate. All endpoints were analyzed using ANCOVA models, following an intention-to-treat approach, while adjusting for baseline values. Missing data were estimated using multiple imputation models. A total of N = 102 participants (f = 59, age = 52.94 ± 9.01) were randomized to either the intervention (IG; N = 52) or the control group (CG; N = 50), of which N = 80 completed the blood pressure diary, and N = 81 the PAM-13 at t1. Between-group comparisons showed an average group difference in systolic blood pressure of -5.06 mm Hg (95% CI = -8.71 to -1.41, p = .013) between the intervention group (M = 137.37 ± 10.13) and the control group (M = 142.35 ± 11.23). Average group difference for patient engagement was 3.35 points with a trend towards statistical significance (95% CI = -018 to 6.89, p = .064), favoring the intervention group (M
