[Effectiveness of cardiovascular prevention in primary care].
Article in Atencion primaria, 2001. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
objectivesTo evaluate the modification of risk factors and of coronary risk (CR) in adults (14-75 years old) after a period of 1 to 5 years in the PAPPS (special prevention programme).
designMulti-centre intervention study with no before-and-after random allocation.
settingPrimary care.
participantsPatients included in the PAPPS at 3 health centres, 634 monitored for five years, 890 for four years, 1605 for 3 years and 2829 for 2 years, were evaluated.Interventions. Minimum counselling to give up tobacco and over-consumption of alcohol, and educational and pharmacological measures to reduce cholesterol and blood pressure. MAIN MEASUREMENTS: Recording of blood pressure, cholesterol, weight, and tobacco and alcohol consumption. CR was determined in the sub-group of 30-75 years old. These variables were determined at the start and end of the various monitoring periods.
resultsCR was reduced by between 0.2 and 0.3%; systolic blood pressure, by between 0.4 and 0.9 mmHg; diastolic pressure, by between 0.3 and 0.7 mmHg; cholesterol, by between 0.5 and 2.5 mg/dl; percentage of smokers, by between 0.3 and 2.8%; and over-consumption of alcohol, by between 0.2 and 1%.
conclusionsScant success of the interventions to reduce CR and risk factors in the population as a whole. The main use of cardiovascular prevention programmes with many factors resides in detecting high-risk patients for subsequent intervention.
