Community Health Worker Optimization of Antihypertensive Care in HIV (COACH): Study protocol for a pilot trial of an intervention to improve hypertension care among Tanzanians with HIV.
Article in PloS one, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06503991 (Community and Physician Perceptions of Barriers to Care for Acute Coronary Syndrome Among HIV-infected and -Uninfected Patients in Moshi, Tanzania_1), which is not on this map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
objectiveThis study will evaluate the feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of the COACH (Community Health Worker Optimization of Antihypertensive Care in HIV) intervention, which integrates hypertension management into existing HIV care for people living with HIV (PLWH) in Tanzania.
methodsThe study will be conducted at two HIV Care and Treatment Centers (CTCs) in Tanzania. In a single-arm pre-post feasibility trial, 100 PLWH with hypertension will be enrolled and will receive the six-month intervention. The COACH intervention includes six monthly hypertension educational sessions delivered by community health workers (CHWs) and integrated within HIV CTC visits, monthly blood pressure monitoring, follow up care coordination, fully subsidized antihypertensive medications, a standardized antihypertensive treatment algorithm, and training for providers. The intervention's implementation outcomes will be evaluated using the Reach Effectiveness Adoption Implementation Maintenance (RE-AIM) framework, and the primary study outcome (reach of the intervention) will be the proportion of all scheduled intervention sessions attended by participants, a measure of feasibility. Secondary clinical effectiveness outcomes will include adherence to antihypertensive medication, blood pressure control, body mass index, cardiovascular risk, and hypertension knowledge. SIGNIFICANCE: The COACH intervention has the potential to significantly improve hypertension management among PLWH in Tanzania by leveraging the existing HIV care infrastructure and CHWs. This study will provide crucial insights into the feasibility and potential effectiveness of the intervention in integrating hypertension care into HIV services, informing larger-scale implementation and policy changes in Tanzania and other resource-limitted settings.
