Healthcare provider experiences integrating mental illness screening and management into hypertension care: qualitative systematic review.
Synthesis in Health promotion international, 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
Mental illness is a frequent comorbidity in chronic diseases including hypertension, yet integration of mental health screening into hypertension care remains limited, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. This systematic review synthesizes qualitative evidence on healthcare providers' experiences of integrating mental illness screening and management into hypertension care. Qualitative studies published between 2010 and 2025 were identified through searches of PubMed, Scopus, PsycINFO, Web of Science, and Africa Wide Information. Out of 114 studies, 7 studies met the inclusion criteria, and their quality was rated using the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme (CASP) qualitative checklist. An inductive thematic synthesis was conducted, followed by deductive mapping using the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research. Key barriers included heavy workloads, stigma, limited training, and weak referral systems, while facilitators included training, collaboration, task-shifting, and community-based strategies. Findings highlight that integration is feasible but dependent on organizational capacity, workforce support, and how well it fits with local contexts. Overcoming these barriers and using the facilitators can improve the effectiveness and long-term success of integration efforts.
