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

Objectives: To implement the Cardiovascular Practice Transformation (CPT) program and evaluate its impact on blood pressure, and to assess the feasibility of implementing the CPT program by identifying obstacles and facilitators. Methods: Twenty-three Iowa pharmacies participated in the program, each monitoring approximately 10 hypertensive patients for 6 months. Pharmacists assessed blood pressure, medication adherence and addressed medication-related problems during patient visits. Pharmacists used a JotForm application to report patient demographics and care provided during visits. Also, blood pressure readings were collected or measured and reported. After six months, an online Qualtrics survey was sent to participating pharmacies to assess obstacles and facilitators to CPT program implementation. Descriptive statistics were calculated for the patient sample and paired Results: A total of 232 patients participated, with 138 patients having both baseline and follow-up blood pressure data. Systolic blood pressure decreased from 144.2 to 133.6 mmHg, and diastolic blood pressure decreased from 84.4 to 78.3 mmHg, with Conclusion: Overall, the CPT program successfully supported pharmacies in improving blood pressure management.
