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

Background: Haiti's hypertension prevalence among adults ≥40 years of age is nearly twice that of nations in the Americas. Haiti Health Initiative (HHI) developed a hypertension management protocol for use in outreach clinics in Timo, a rural mountainous community in Haiti. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the hypertension protocol for treating adults ≥40 years of age and pregnant women with severe hypertension. Methods: This retrospective longitudinal study included 209 patients across 1148 clinic visits/encounters. De-identified medical records from 11 biannual outreach clinics between April 2014 to April 2019 were reviewed for analysis. Descriptive statistics, paired Findings: In the study ( Conclusion: Effective management of hypertension and other chronic conditions among hard-to-reach populations with limited healthcare access requires comprehensive outreach efforts that address care antecedents, structures, and processes. Although outreach clinics made treatment accessible to vulnerable populations, the protocol, which used medications with previously demonstrated efficacy, had little impact on reducing blood pressure in patients with severe hypertension.
