Reducing Racial Disparities in Hypertension Control Using a Multicomponent, Equity-Centered Approach.
Article in Health equity, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction: Black Americans have the highest prevalence of hypertension among all racial or ethnic groups in the United States. They are 40% more likely to have uncontrolled blood pressure (BP) and are five times more likely to die from hypertension compared with non-Hispanic Whites. Experiences of discrimination in health care, clinician and institutional bias, and socioeconomic and environmental inequities driven by structural racism contribute to uncontrolled hypertension in this population. Multilevel, multicomponent interventions have effectively improved BP control among Black Americans but remain inadequately implemented in the clinical setting. An integrated nursing/public health quality improvement study was designed to address this gap between evidence and integration into clinical practice. Methods: Using a one group pre/posttest design, we examined the effect of an innovative, evidence-based 12-week intervention on BP among Black Americans with uncontrolled hypertension aged 18 and older in the primary care setting. Intervention components included remote BP monitoring, weekly phone coaching with culturally congruent care, medication intensification, and a standardized hypertension protocol. Results: The average age of the participants ( Conclusion: A multicomponent, culturally congruent quality improvement intervention may effectively improve BP among Black Americans. Health Equity Implications: Scaled up implementation of equity-centered, culturally congruent approaches is needed to reduce racial disparities in hypertension control.
