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

Despite established guidelines, blood pressure(BP) control remains suboptimal worldwide. Poor implementation of guidelines is identified as a contributing factor. "Protocol-based BP management(PB-BPM)" is a suggested solution and has been implemented in Sri Lanka. However, data on the efficacy of PB-BPM are sparse in South Asia. We assessed the efficacy of PB-BPM in the outpatient clinics of the primary and secondary/tertiary healthcare facilities in Sri Lanka by analysing BP data of those with 6 or more months' follow-up by 31
