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

In this implementation science study evaluating the feasibility and effectiveness of a remote patient monitoring program for hypertension, we found that most, but not all of patients received the intended program components of clinical pharmacist outreach and medication titration. Despite feasibility challenges, remote-patient monitoring for hypertension was effective at reducing systolic blood pressure by ≥ 5 mmHg in (64%) and 346 (71%) patients by 3 and 6 months of enrollment respectively. Unexpectedly, chi-square and multivariate logistic regressions analysis showed that the clinical pharmacist outreach, was not associated with blood pressure improvement, but that patient engagement and medication titration were associated with blood pressure improvement. These results suggest that other unmeasured behavioral and lifestyle changes may be a large driver of BP improvement and that while RPM-HTN is a worthwhile intervention, it may not require all ancillary components to deliver meaningful results.
