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

introductionHypertension, cardiovascular disease, and cerebrovascular disease are significant public health challenges worldwide. In South Korea, heart disease and cerebrovascular disease are among the leading causes of death, and hypertension prevalence remains substantial. While hypertension management education has been associated with improved disease knowledge and self-care behaviours, studies on the association educational effectiveness and provider type at the population level are limited.

aimTo examine the association between hypertension management education experience, education provider type, and knowledge of early cardio-cerebrovascular disease symptoms among adults with hypertension using nationally representative data.

methodsThis cross-sectional secondary data analysis used the 2024 Korea Community Health Survey. The analytic sample comprised 71,859 adults aged 19 years or older with physician-diagnosed hypertension. Knowledge of early cardio-cerebrovascular symptoms was measured using a validated 10-item score. Multiple linear regression analyses were conducted to assess the association between education experience, education provider type, and knowledge scores, adjusting for sociodemographic, health status, and health behaviour covariates. Interaction and stratified analyses examined potential effect modification by sex, age, education level, and income.

resultsAmong the participants, 18.3% had received hypertension management education in the past year. After full covariate adjustment, the education group had significantly higher knowledge scores than the non-education group (β = 0.273, 95% CI 0.197-0.349). Education at public health centres or other community-based providers was associated with the largest score difference (β = 0.366, 95% CI 0.188-0.545), followed by clinics/hospitals (β = 0.259, 95% CI 0.176-0.342). Interaction analyses indicated that the magnitude of the association was significantly greater among women, older adults, those with lower education, and those with lower income.

conclusionsHypertension management education was positively associated with higher knowledge of early cardio-cerebrovascular warning symptoms, with a particularly greater association among socioeconomically disadvantaged populations. These findings support the potential value of expanding structured education through both primary care and community-based public health programmes.
