Continuity of care for people with hypertension in primary health care: a scoping review.
Article in Revista da Escola de Enfermagem da U S P, 2026. 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
objectiveTo map the evidence on continuity of care for people with systemic arterial hypertension in Primary Health Care (PHC), pointing out limitations and strategies for its implementation.
methodScope review, without time limits, based on the Web of Science, PubMed, Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature, and Scientific Electronic Library Online databases. Theses and dissertations from the Brazilian Digital Library and the Catalog of the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel were included. The selection of studies was performed by two independent blind reviewers, and any disagreements were resolved by a third reviewer, resulting in a corpus of 32 studies. Data extraction was performed based on an adaptation of the JBI instrument, covering information on the studies, methodology, and recommendations for continuity of care. The data were organized in an Excel spreadsheet and analyzed thematically, being interpreted in light of the dimensions of continuity of care.
resultsContinuity of care in hypertension in PHC improves blood pressure control, reducing morbidity, mortality, and health costs. Patients followed by the same health professional show better adherence to treatment and quality of life. Limitations were identified, such as staff turnover, poor communication between services, and the absence of consolidated care flows. Strategies include strengthening teamwork, interprofessional coordination, the use of shared electronic medical records, and the adoption of formal referral and counter-referral flows.
conclusionsImplementing team-based care and promoting the sharing of activities among professionals are strategies for achieving continuity of care.
