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: HEARTS is the regional strategy led by the Pan American Health Organization to strengthen hypertension and diabetes control in primary health care. This report summarizes formative and process evidence from the ANDES trial in Puno, Peru, and its alignment with HEARTS implementation. Methods: We assessed 414 health facilities using an adapted World Health Organization Service Availability and Readiness Assessment (SARA-NCD), conducted 55 semi-structured interviews with health professionals, and applied the Hill-Bone adherence scale to 204 hypertensive patients. Results: Facility readiness was 28% for hypertension and 29% for diabetes. Lower-level facilities - posts and basic health centers - showed markedly lower readiness (OR = 0.20 for hypertension; OR = 0.03 for diabetes). Provider interviews identified limited prioritization of hypertension, weak supply chains, and insufficient training. Mean adherence score was 48.3 ± 4.0 (medication 31.6 ± 3.5; appointment-keeping 5.98 ± 1.27; salt reduction 10.67 ± 1.18). Conclusions: Findings reveal major readiness gaps and systemic barriers to hypertension and diabetes management in high-altitude Andean regions. Community health worker-supported interventions such as ANDES can facilitate adoption of HEARTS strategies in resource-limited primary care settings.
