Assessing Community-Based interventions effectiveness on hypertension prevention and control: A systematic review and Meta-Analysis.
Synthesis in BMC public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundDesigning and implementing community-based interventions for the prevention and control of hypertension is of particular importance. The aim of the present study is to systematically review the effectiveness of community-based interventions conducted for the prevention and control of hypertension.
methodsData for this systematic review and meta-analysis were collected from the databases PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, manual search of relevant journals, Google Scholar, searching reference lists of selected articles, and unpublished sources from the beginning of the year 2000 to 2025. A random effects model in Stata:16 software was used for the meta-analysis.
resultsUltimately, 68 articles were included in the study. Interventions were effective in 54 studies and ineffective in 14 studies. Meta-analysis results of 34 studies showed that the interventions reduced the mean systolic blood pressure by 7.26 mmHg [5.32-9.2, CI = 95%] and diastolic blood pressure by 2.77 mmHg [1.81-3.73, CI = 95%]. Overall, interventions conducted in low- and middle-income countries, in healthcare centers, as single-component interventions, and with fewer repetition periods were more effective. Meta-regression results indicated that the variables of patient follow-up duration (weeks) and the frequency of intervention (weeks) did not predict the outcomes of interventions on changes in systolic and diastolic blood pressure. The heterogeneity of study results was high, but the likelihood of publication bias was very low.
conclusionDue to the significant effectiveness of community-based interventions in preventing and controlling hypertension, the development and implementation of additional such interventions are strongly recommended.
