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

African Americans (AA) experience significant disparities in uncontrolled hypertension and stroke. Despite hypertension self-management (HTN-SM) playing a crucial role in blood pressure (BP) control, stroke-related factors as predictors of HTN-SM remain unexplored in this population. This study examined stroke-related theoretical variables-stroke risk perceptions, stroke knowledge, history of stroke symptoms, perceived stress, perceived health, and self-efficacy for managing hypertension-as predictors of HTN-SM for primary stroke prevention in middle-aged to older AA. Using a cross-sectional, correlational design guided by the Health Belief Model, AA 45 years and older were recruited from the United States. Data were collected via surveys administered through Qualtrics or telephonic interviews. Participants (N = 142) had a mean age of 63 years (SD = 12.0) and an average hypertension duration of 13.7 years (SD = 11.1). Among those recalling their last BP reading (n = 99; 70%), the mean systolic BP was 133 mmHg (SD = 13.4), and diastolic was 80 mmHg (SD = 10.7). The mean HTN-SM score was 58.1 (SD = 16.7); 72% scored < 70, indicating inadequate HTN-SM. Deficits in HTN-SM were related to diet and exercise. Participants reported low-moderate stroke risk perceptions, moderate stroke knowledge, low-moderate perceived stress, fair/good perceived health, and inadequate self-efficacy. The model explained 34.6% of the variance in HTN-SM (R
