Methods	Randomised trial
Participants	253 hypertension patients (intervention: 131; control: 122) General hospital Amman, Jordan Year of study: March to November 2009
Interventions	Patients met with a pharmacist for 20 ‐ 30 minutes before seeing their physician each month for 6 months. Pharmacists took information on medication history, encouraged compliance, adherence to pharmacological and non‐pharmacological therapy and responded to questions. They also educated the patients about healthy lifestyle using education materials and self‐monitoring of BP. Recommendations were offered to the physician, with notes about cost‐effective drug choices.
Outcomes	Reduction in systolic blood pressure (SBP) at 6 months; Reaching goal BP (SBP < 140 mmHg, diastolic BP < 90mmHg; for diabetic patients it was SBP < 130 mmHg, diastolic BP < 80 mmHg)
Notes	Funding source: Not specified Conflict of interest: Not stated
Risk of bias
Bias	Authors' judgement	Support for judgement
Random sequence generation (selection bias)	Low risk	Randomised by 'coin tossing'
Allocation concealment (selection bias)	Low risk	Randomisation is post‐enrolment
Blinding of participants and personnel (performance bias) All Outcomes/Outcome 1	Unclear risk	Quote: "Patients were not informed of their study allocation, neither were the physicians, nor the nursing team" but the personnel were aware.
Blinding of outcome assessment (detection bias) All Outcomes/Outcome 1	Unclear risk	Personnel and possibly patients were aware of allocation.
Incomplete outcome data (attrition bias) All outcomes	Low risk	Between group attrition < 10%. Overall completion rate 97%.
Selective reporting (reporting bias)	Low risk	All outcomes reported
Other bias	Low risk	None identified
