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.

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.

Abstract

backgroundHypertension is the leading risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Despite advances in blood pressure management, significant racial and ethnic disparities persist, resulting in higher risks of stroke, heart disease, and mortality among non-White populations. Self-measured blood pressure (SMBP) monitoring, also known as home blood pressure monitoring, has shown promise in improving blood pressure control, especially when combined with feedback from healthcare providers. However, the adoption of SMBP remains low, particularly among racial and ethnic minorities, due to various patient, provider, and system-level barriers.

objectivesThis study aims to evaluate the feasibility of study methods implementing the ASPIRE (adapting self-measured blood pressure to reduce health disparities) toolkit in a primary care setting. The toolkit is designed to address barriers to SMBP adoption and improve hypertension management among underserved populations to increase SMBP adoption.

methodsThis pilot hybrid effectiveness-implementation randomized controlled trial (RCT) will be conducted at a primary care clinic in South Side Chicago, serving a diverse patient population. Eligible patients with uncontrolled hypertension will be randomized to either the intervention group, receiving the ASPIRE toolkit and support, or the control group, receiving usual care. The primary outcomes include feasibility measures including recruitment rates, attrition, and availability of data in the electronic health records.

resultsThe feasibility of the study methods will be analyzed to inform a larger multi-site RCT informed by progression criteria developed in this protocol. Qualitative interviews with patients and providers will explore the appropriateness and implementation success of the toolkit using the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR).

conclusionsThis pilot RCT will provide critical insights into the feasibility of study methods to evaluate the implementation success of the ASPIRE toolkit in a real-world primary care setting. By addressing barriers to SMBP adoption, this intervention has the potential to improve hypertension management and reduce health disparities in underserved populations.
