Article in Journal of clinical hypertension (Greenwich, Conn.), 2025. 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
The aim was to study if nurse-managed hypertension care was associated with differences in pharmacotherapy, lifestyle counseling, and prevalence of comorbid cardiometabolic diseases among patients receiving care at primary health care centers. To assess the extent of nurses' involvement in the hypertension care, a questionnaire was distributed to all primary health care centers in Region Stockholm. Age-adjusted logistic regression models were used to analyze the results, odds ratios with 99% confidence intervals. Data was acquired from VAL, the administrative databases of Region Stockholm in Sweden, encompassing all individuals 30 years or older with a registered hypertension diagnosis who attended to the primary health care center they were registered at. Our analysis comprised 119 267 patients diagnosed with hypertension registered in one of the 224 included primary health care centers. Of the 81 primary health care centers that responded to the questionnaire, 54 reported having nurse-managed hypertension care. Nurse-managed hypertension care was not significantly associated with differences in pharmacotherapy or patients' comorbidity, except for diabetes. Primary health care centers with nurse-managed hypertension care had a 10% greater adherence to national guidelines for lifestyle counseling (33.5%) compared to those without nurse-managed hypertension care (22.5%). Regardless of the organizational form of hypertension care management, more men received lifestyle counseling according to guidelines compared to women. In-house routines for hypertension care, with designated nurses, and booking systems were associated with more lifestyle counseling, which has been associated with signs of better hypertension care.
