Identifying Research Gaps in the Diagnosis and Treatment of Hypertension: Evidence from a Guideline Update.
Article in Iranian journal of nursing and midwifery research. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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: The development of clinical practice guidelines presents a unique opportunity to identify research gaps systematically. This study aimed to uncover such gaps in the hypertension field while updating the Iranian hypertension guideline. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted as part of the systematic review component of the 2021 Iranian hypertension guideline update. An extensive search of electronic databases was performed to identify evidence relevant to PICO (Population, Interventions, Comparisons, Outcomes) questions. Any topic without evidence with high certainty of effect was considered a knowledge gap. Results: A total of 227 studies were reviewed and appraised. Nine topics, such as non-pharmacological treatment, treatment thresholds, visit and follow-up intervals, laboratory tests, drug immunotherapy, adherence to treatment, complementary medicine, telehealth, COVID-19 were identified as research gaps. Conclusions: The identified research gaps can be examined and prioritized by policymakers in the research field, and actions can be taken to plan for addressing them.
