Self-care adherence and associated factors among hypertensive patients at Guraghe Zone, 2023.
Article in Heliyon, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Background: Hypertension is the primary cause of cardiovascular disease and early mortality. Self-care is important for the prevention of hypertensive-related complications, and it was found to be necessary to determine the self-care adherence of hypertensive patients in Guraghe Zone, as there are limited findings in this area. The other reason for conducting this study was that there are certain variables related to self-care that have not been well studied, such as BMI, the number of antihypertensive medications, and the duration of antihypertensive drugs the patients are taking. Objective: To assess self-care adherence and associated factors among hypertensive patients at Guraghe zone public hospitals. Methods and materials: A multi-center institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted at selected Guraghe zone hospitals from May 20 to June 20, 2023. A systematic random sampling method was employed to select 370 participants. Hypertension self-care Activity Level Scale Effects (H-SCALE) was used to measure the self-care status. A binary logistic regression model was applied, and variables with a p-value <0.05 with a 95 % CI in the multivariable analysis were considered significant. Results: The study evaluated the self-care adherence of 370 patients, and 50.8 % of patients had good self-care adherence. Normal BMI (AOR = 2.049, 95 % CI: 1.041, 4.033), starting antihypertensive in <5 years (AOR = 2.530, 95 % CI: 1.462, 4.381), patients taking three or more antihypertensive (AOR = 4.534, 95 % CI: 2.005, 10.252), absence of comorbidity (AOR = 1.758, 95 % CI: 1.030, 3.003), and strong social support (AOR = 3.842, 95 % CI: 1.994, 7.402) were significantly associated with good self-care. Conclusion: and recommendation: Nearly half of patients with hypertension had good self-care adherence. BMI, antihypertensive duration, number of antihypertensive, comorbidity, and social support were variables that showed significant association with self-care adherence. Patients need to implement the lifestyle recommendations in addition to regular follow-up to prevent complications. Health-care facilities need to provide health education on the proper implementation of self-care recommendations.
