Expanding team-based care for hypertension and cardiovascular risk management with HEARTS in the Americas.
Article in Revista panamericana de salud publica = Pan American journal of public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers.
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.
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
Cardiovascular diseases remain the leading cause of premature morbidity and mortality globally, with hypertension as their main modifiable risk factor. In Latin America and the Caribbean, hypertension affects more than 30% of adults, yet control rates remain alarmingly low. The HEARTS in the Americas Initiative, led by the Pan American Health Organization, promotes a model of team-based care to enhance risk management for hypertension and cardiovascular diseases within primary health care. Team-based care leverages the skills of diverse health professionals, including nurses, pharmacists and community health workers, to optimize resource allocation, task-sharing and care delivery. Evidence underscores the effectiveness of team-based care in improving blood pressure control, reducing hospitalizations and enhancing quality of life through strategies such as periodic follow up and medication titration. Despite its benefits, implementing team-based care faces cultural and systemic barriers. This special report outlines a policy framework to scale team-based care across the Region of the Americas, ensuring equitable access to high-quality, cost-effective prevention and care for cardiovascular diseases.
