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
Objective: Internet-based outpatient hypertension management offers a promising approach to improve treatment adherence and blood pressure control, yet its adoption remains suboptimal due to insufficient knowledge and inconsistent practices among healthcare professionals. This study aims to investigate the Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice (KAP) of healthcare professionals toward internet-based outpatient hypertension management. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at 25 hospitals across China between 30 December 2023 and 12 January 2024. Healthcare professionals were recruited through the medical affairs and nursing departments. KAP scores was collected using a structured questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, logistic regression, and structural equation modeling (SEM). Results: The study included 1, 199 valid questionnaire responses. Based on the 70% cutoff, 29.77% of the participants demonstrated adequate knowledge, 86.66% had positive attitudes, and 41.03% exhibited proactive practices. Significant positive correlations were observed between knowledge and attitude (r = 0.346, P < 0.001), knowledge and practice (r = 0.183, P < 0.001), and attitude and practice (r = 0.389, P < 0.001). Multivariate logistic regression revealed professional title and participation in hypertension management teams as key factors influencing knowledge and practice. Pearson correlation analysis revealed significant positive correlations between knowledge and attitude (r = 0.346, P < 0.001), knowledge and practice (r = 0.183, P < 0.001), and attitude and practice (r = 0.389, P < 0.001). Mediation analysis revealed that professional title directly affected knowledge (β = 0.248, P = 0.007) and indirectly influenced attitude (β = 0.247, P = 0.006) and practice (β = 0.073, P = 0.010). Additionally, participation in hypertension management teams directly affected practice (β = -1.756, P = 0.020) while having indirect effects on attitude (β = -0.355, P = 0.042) and practice (β = -0.105, P = 0.025). Conclusion: Healthcare professionals demonstrated insufficient knowledge, positive attitudes, and suboptimal practices regarding internet-based outpatient hypertension management. These findings highlight the need for targeted training programs to enhance knowledge and practices and advocate for integrating digital strategies into routine clinical care. Strengthening healthcare professionals' competencies in digital hypertension management is essential for improving patient outcomes and ensuring the sustainability of such interventions.
