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: Digital health technologies have the potential to empower patients and enhance the management of chronic diseases, such as hypertension, which often suffers from low awareness and control rates in developing countries. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of a lifestyle intervention tailored for hypertensive pregnant women, employing strategies derived from self-determination theory through a mobile health program. Methods: The study utilized an experimental pre-test/post-test design with a two-month follow-up period. It examined the impact of an educational intervention on pregnant women with hypertension in Kermanshah, Iran, from 2021 to 2023. Sixty pregnant women with hypertensive disorders were recruited from medical centers and randomly assigned to either the intervention group ( Results: After the intervention, repeated measures ANOVA indicated that the intervention resulted in statistically significant improvements in all study variables within the intervention group compared to the control group ( Conclusion: The M-Health intervention led to improvements in lifestyle factors and self-determination constructs, with the exception of relatedness, which may be attributed to the limited features of the app. Although blood pressure did not change significantly, the reduction in systolic pressure could still be clinically meaningful. M-Health interventions grounded in self-determination theory show promise for supporting hypertensive pregnant women.
