Doctor-patient communication in community-dwelling patients with essential hypertension: a cross-sectional study.

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
This study aimed to assess the doctor-patient communication among hypertensive patients in the context of community health service and chronicity of the disease, and to highlight which demographic and clinical factors may make this task less effective for the doctor. The study was conducted at two community hospitals in Changsha, China, from January 1 to November 1, 2024. Set Elicit Give Understand End (SEGUE) framework and a self-developed questionnaire were used to assess doctor-patient communication and hypertension-related content. Multivariable logistic regression was employed to analyze associated factors. We collected 546 valid questionnaires, primarily from elderly individuals with over 10 years of hypertension history. The average SEGUE score was 68.80 ± 16.17, with 70.7% of patients having suboptimal communication (SEGUE score < 80). Hypertension-related communication content between doctors and patients was considered insufficient. Only 65.6% of patients reported that doctors discussed the importance of medication for blood pressure control, and 22.0% reported that they were explained the potential side effects of their medication. Factors associated with worse doctor-patient communication included obesity (BMI > 28 kg/m
