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

backgroundThis analysis of baseline data from a clinical trial evaluated factors associated with blood pressure (BP) control among 160 Black men with stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA).

methodsAggregate analysis evaluated demographic (age, health insurance status, living-alone status), clinical (time since stroke/TIA, somatic comorbidities), and social variables (health literacy, stress and discrimination) in relation to BP. Baseline BP readings were available for 146 (91.3%) of the sample.

resultsMean sample age was 61.19 (Standard deviation/SD of 9.47) years and mean level of education was 13.99 (SD 2.19) years. Baseline systolic and diastolic BP were 134.59 (SD 17.80) and 82.59 (SD 12.17) respectively. Mean body mass index (BMI) was 30.6 (SD 6.59) and nearly half of the sample (N = 79, 49.38%) had diabetes. In unadjusted analyses, higher health literacy was associated with higher systolic BP (r=.279, p=.002). Higher diastolic BP was associated with lower age (r=-.370, p<.001), less education (r=-.216, p=.012), being unmarried (r=-.247, p=.003), living alone (r=.212, p=.011), having Medicaid (r=.189, p=.024), and higher health literacy (r=.257, p=.005). After age adjustment, the only significant association with systolic BP was health literacy (r=.276, p=.002) while the only significant associations with diastolic BP were education (r=-.187, p=.030) being unmarried (r=-.199, p=.021), living alone (r=.232 p=.007), and health literacy (r=.259, p=.004).

conclusionsWhile our analysis found few significant correlates of elevated BP among Black men with stroke or TIA, these individuals may still be at risk for stroke recurrence given high BMI, limited social support, and vulnerability to attenuation of healthy behaviors.
