Stage of Change of Transtheoretical Model for Nine Health-Related Behaviors Among Hypertensive Patients: Cross-Sectional Study.

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.
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
Aim: This study aimed to determine the current stage of change (SOG) toward seven healthy eating behaviors and two healthy lifestyle behaviors related to blood pressure (BP) control. The lifestyle behaviors included smoking Behavior and practicing regular exercise, while the dietary behaviors included the DASH diet guidelines. Methods: A total of 1109 outpatients participated in this cross-sectional study that was conducted between 2021 and 2022 in Jordan. A staging algorithm assessed SOG for several BP control-related behaviors for diagnosed hypertension patients. Data were collected by a structured interview-based questionnaire. Results: There was a high degree of maintenance toward consuming diets with high grains, fruit, vegetables, meat, and poultry, less saturated fat, and more low-fat dairy products. More than half of the participants were in the pre-action stage for quitting smoking, practicing physical exercise, and consuming sweets and added sugars. Significant associations were observed between the degree of maintenance for several behaviors (p < 0.01). Age, income, education level, disease duration, and nutrition consultation availability were the most related factors to the SOG of the studied behaviors (p < 0.01). Conclusion: Patients with hypertension in Jordan are still in the pre-action stages for quitting smoking, practicing physical exercise, and consuming 5 servings of refined sweets and added sugars weekly. The current outcome suggests a need for nutritional counseling, education, and interventions to raise awareness of lifestyle factors influencing BP among hypertension patients.
