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

Hypertension (HTN) is a chronic condition that requires careful monitoring and management. Blood pressure readings in the clinic and self-reported blood pressure readings are often too intermittent to allow for careful management. Remote patient monitoring is a solution that may have positive impacts on HTN management. Individuals at cardiac and primary care clinics were prescribed a remote patient-monitoring (RPM) program. Patients were sent blood pressure monitors that were enabled to transmit data over cellular networks. We reviewed trends in HTN management retrospectively in patients who had previously been on conventional therapy for a year and participated in RPM for a minimum of 90 days. There were 6595 patients enrolled, and the mean duration on RPM was 289 days. A total of 4370 participants (66.3%) had uncontrolled HTN, and 2476 (37.5%) had stage 2 HTN. After at least 90 days on the RPM program, the number of patients with uncontrolled HTN reduced to 2648 (40.2%,
