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

Hypertension is the most common, vital preventable disease condition seen in initial health care. If not treated in earlier it risks for cardiovascular and renal diseases. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate the effectiveness of raw garlic clove consumption on blood pressure reduction among hypertensive patients in selected villages of Aravalli District. Hence, a total of 200 participants were selected through purposive sampling and allocated to an interventional group (n=100) and a non-equivalent control group (n=100). The interventional group showed a significant reduction in mean systolic blood pressure from 152.34±8.76 to 128.45±6.23 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure from 96.78±6.45 to 82.34±5.12 mmHg (p<0.001). Post-test blood pressure levels were significantly lower in the intervention group compared to the control group (p<0.001). Thus, we show that raw garlic clove consumption is an effective and feasible complementary strategy for community-based hypertension management.
