Rationale and design of the A-STAC study: A multi-stage, hybrid effectiveness-implementation trial to prevent and reduce racial disparities in postpartum hypertension.
Article in Contemporary clinical trials, 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
backgroundHypertensive disorders of pregnancy are a leading cause of maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality and are 60 % more common among Black birthing people than non-Black birthing people. Staying Healthy After Childbirth (STAC) is an evidence-based healthcare program that increases healthcare access by providing postpartum patients with a home blood pressure monitor and a healthcare team that remotely monitors and treats hypertension. This study adapts STAC to expand program reach for Black birthing people via implementation in community-based organizations.
methodThe study team is partnering with community-based organizations led by and/or serving Black birthing people and Black individuals with lived experiences of hypertension during pregnancy to inform care model adaptation. Guided by the Replicating Effective Programs Framework, the study will be conducted over three stages. The pre-implementation stage will consist of identifying adaptations to STAC to align with community values and priorities. We will apply these adaptations in rapid Plan-Do-Study-Act implementation cycles to create a finalized adapted STAC (A-STAC) program. The implementation stage will consist of delivering A-STAC through community-based organizations and evaluating A-STAC effectiveness, reach, and adoption. The maintenance and evolution stage will consist of identifying strategies for sustainment of A-STAC.
conclusionThis adapted intervention has the potential to decrease disparities in postpartum morbidity and mortality for Black birthing people and enhance generational health equity.
