Interpersonal Factors Influencing Hypertension Control: A Cross-Sectional Study Among Hypertensive Patients in the Ashanti Region, Ghana.
Article in Health science reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Background and Aims: Hypertension, a leading noncommunicable disease, significantly contributes to global morbidity and mortality. Despite its prevalence, managing and controlling hypertension in Ghana faces numerous challenges. This study aimed to assess interpersonal factors hindering hypertension management in Ghana's Ashanti region. Methods: Using a pretested questionnaire, we collected quantitative data from 350 hypertensive patients receiving care at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used for data analysis. Results: Medication nonadherence was prevalent (56.3%), with moderate knowledge of hypertension (49.7%) and high physical inactivity (66.6%). Patients with tertiary education (adjusted odds ratios [AOR] = 6.151, 95% CI = 1.240-30.505; Conclusion: Interpersonal factors play a huge role in hypertension management in the Ashanti Region of Ghana. Targeted health education and self-management are recommended in improving medication adherence and adopting healthier lifestyles among these patients from Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital. More qualitative research is needed to deepen understanding and inform effective intervention strategies.
