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 proven to be reliable for both diagnosis and treatment of hypertension. Experts from 11 Asian countries collaborated to design a questionnaire aimed at healthcare workers, seeking to understand the current status of HBPM. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among healthcare professionals from Taiwan between November 2019 and June 2021. A total of 779 physicians in Taiwan participated in the survey. Nearly all physicians (97.7%) reported recommending HBPM to their patients. There was a 14.6% difference between the HBPM device ownership rate (60.2%) and the proportion of patients who measured their home blood pressures (45.6%). Among physicians who recommended HBPM, only 15.5% cited HBPM diagnostic threshold values consistent with the guidelines. Among all respondents, 85.9% and 48.9% viewed HBPM as highly recognized by physicians and patients, respectively. Lack of guidelines for HBPM and concern to reliability and accuracy of the HBPM devices were identified as key barriers to HBPM recognition. This study indicates that there is still room for improvement among healthcare providers in their understanding and implementation of HBPM in Taiwan.
