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: Uncontrolled hypertension leads to a number of complications. To achieve effective self-management, adults with uncontrolled hypertension need health literacy to promote and maintain good health. Transformative learning is a key adult learning paradigm that supports perspective transformation, self-management, and blood pressure control. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of a Transformative Learning Theory-Based Health Literacy Enhancement Program on self-management behaviors and blood pressure among adults with uncontrolled hypertension. Methods: This cluster-randomized controlled trial was conducted at two sub-district health-promoting hospitals in northeastern Thailand. Hospitals were randomly allocated to either the experimental or control group to prevent treatment contamination. A total of 58 participants ( Results: At 8 and 12 weeks after the program, the experimental group had significantly higher self-management scores than the control group ( Conclusion: The study highlights the effectiveness of the program for improving self-management behaviors and systolic blood pressure. Nurses can integrate adult learning theories into health education to enhance outcomes for hypertensive patients in primary care. Trial Registry Number: Thai Clinical Trial Registry (TCTR20250202009).
