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

Background: Heart disease is the leading cause of mortality in the United States and contributes more than $320 billion annually in health care costs and lost productivity. Manufacturing employment is associated with higher rates of hypertension and smoking. Many large manufacturers provide health services to employees and their family members through worksite health centers (WHCs). Several quality improvement interventions for hypertension and tobacco cessation have shown to be effective in community-based primary care sites. The Healthy Hearts in Manufacturing (HHM) study aims to implement and test these interventions in WHCs. Methods: Two organizations that operate WHCs at manufacturing sites volunteered to participate in the 58-month HHM research study. The HHM intervention involves monthly coaching to assist WHCs with implementing evidence-based strategies for hypertension management and tobacco cessation advocated by the Million Hearts initiative and the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force. A pragmatic, Type II hybrid effectiveness-implementation study design is used to evaluate HHM. The approach is inspired by the stepped-wedge cluster-randomized trial to assess intervention effectiveness. We will conduct interviews to identify facilitators and barriers to implementation and budget impact analysis to estimate the financial impact of the HMM interventions and the potential healthcare savings to companies and Medicare. Results: Twelve WHCs were randomly selected to enroll in HHM. The WHCs are in nine states and provide primary care services for employees and family members of four manufacturing companies. Baseline patient smoking rates ranged from 13 % to 59 % across WHCs. The percentage of patients with blood pressure of 140/90 or greater ranged from 7 % to 56 % across WHCs. Conclusion: This exploratory five-year research study will identify facilitators and barriers to implementing the HHM interventions in WHCs, evaluate the effectiveness of hypertension management and use of tobacco screening and cessation, and provide evidence of HHM's potential cost-effectiveness for employers and Medicare.
