Self-Efficacy in Hypertension Management Using e-Health Technology: A Randomized Controlled Trial in Primary Care.
Trial report 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 1 paper.
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
Self-efficacy is tightly intertwined with person-centered care and correlates with engaging in self-care behaviors, an important part of hypertension treatment. Evidence indicates that e-Health-based self-management interventions could increase self-efficacy. The objectives of this study were to investigate whether an intervention with a person-centered approach supported by e-Health technology can impact self-efficacy. Furthermore, to examine the impact of self-efficacy on hypertension management, and assess if self-efficacy can indicate which patients might see the greatest improvement on blood pressure from an e-Health-based self-management intervention for hypertension. This multicenter randomized controlled trial included 949 primary healthcare patients with hypertension. After exclusions, data was analyzed for 862 patients. The intervention group used an e-Health-based self-management system for 8 weeks. Self-efficacy was measured with the general self-efficacy (GSE) scale at inclusion, 8-week follow-up and 1-year follow-up. A significant increase in the mean GSE score in the intervention group was identified (p 0.042). No significant association between self-efficacy and blood pressure control was found. GSE scores did not significantly differ between the patients that had the best effect on blood pressure and those that had none. This study showed a significant increase in self-efficacy after the intervention. Self-management-based e-Health interventions might have a role in clinical practice to increase self-efficacy and improve general health. We found no association between self-efficacy and achieving a blood pressure below 140/90. Furthermore, no support was found to claim that self-efficacy would be an indicator of which patients might have the greatest effect from a self-management-based e-Health intervention for hypertension.
