A randomized controlled pilot study investigating adherence to blood pressure diaries with personal pictures in stroke follow-up care.
Trial report in Wiener klinische Wochenschrift, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionBlood pressure (BP) management is essential in secondary stroke prevention. Strategies to ensure continuous home BP monitoring are needed. Few studies investigated factors influencing adherence to home BP management. Therefore, we designed a pilot study to investigate the feasibility of keeping BP diaries (BPDs) with personal images.
methodsIn this prospective trial, we randomized persons with a diagnosis of stroke or transient ischemic attack into two groups: (i) 10 patients received a personalized BPD with pictures of their choosing and (ii) 10 patients received a BPD without photographs. We instructed participants in both groups to document their BP at home twice daily over 28 days. Adherence was defined as the number of BP measurements performed relative to the maximum number of recommended measurements. We assessed patient reported outcomes as exploratory endpoints.
resultsWe found no statistically significant difference in mean adherence between the control group (64%) and the intervention group (69%). The BP was within the recommended range and precision of documentation was high in both groups, without statistically significant differences. Patient reported outcomes such as depression scores did not differ significantly between study groups.
conclusionOur findings underline the relevance to investigate aspects of adherence to home BP management suggesting the inclusion of patient-provided pictures to be feasible.
