Telephone Outreach Is Associated With Improved Blood Pressure in Patients at an Urban Community Health Center.
Article in Journal of primary care & community health. 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
purposeHypertension (HTN) disproportionately affects marginalized communities due to persistent healthcare disparities and socioeconomic barriers. Less than half of patients with HTN achieve blood pressure (BP) control, with Black Americans on antihypertensive medication experiencing lower rates of BP control (34.9%) compared to non-Hispanic Whites (45.0%). This pilot study evaluates the effectiveness of a telephone outreach intervention designed to improve BP control through self-management in a historically underserved population. MAJOR
findingsThis single-cohort, pre-post intervention study was conducted at a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC). Patients with severe hypertension were identified and contacted by trained student ambassadors (SAs). These SAs provided hypertension-specific health education, health goal-setting, guidance for self-monitoring blood pressure, and referrals to address health-related social needs (HRSN). During in-person classes, patients were educated on BP self-monitoring and goal setting regarding healthy lifestyle practices. Results from this study showed a reduction in SBP and DBP among engaged patients and improved hypertension knowledge.
conclusionThese findings suggest that telephone outreach, when combined with skill-based in-person education, can improve hypertension control in Black American populations.
