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: More than 16,000 Virginians die of cardiovascular disease each year, with increased morbidity among Black and low-income adults. Hypertension (HTN) is the most modifiable cardiovascular disease risk factor. A community-based health intervention administered in partnership with schools may increase HTN awareness and reduce the development of unhealthy practices. Methods: Elementary school students (n=52) attending a majority Black and low-income school participated in an educational intervention program called Teach BP that is designed to increase HTN awareness across 4 topics: knowledge of blood pressure (BP) and HTN, organ systems impacted by HTN, habits to maintain a healthy BP, and competency in operating a BP monitor. Results: Students' ability to define and recognize HTN increased by an average of 62.7%. Their awareness of how HTN affects the body increased by an average of 92.1%. Additionally, students demonstrated competency in operating a BP monitor. Conclusion: The Teach BP program was effective at increasing students' awareness of HTN.
