The Atherosclerosis Risk in Young Adults (ARYA) study: rationale and design.

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
introductionDespite recent advances in treatment, cardiovascular disease (CVD) is still health problem number one in western societies. Aiming at specific prevention strategies for high-risk individuals and shifting the available prevention programs towards younger age groups might increase the success of primary prevention. However, before addressing age-specific prevention programs, more insight in the determinants of early vascular damage and increased cardiovascular risk is warranted as well as insight in determinants increased cardiovascular risk, including vascular damage, at an early age. The Atherosclerosis Risk in Young Adults (ARYA) study was specifically designed to address this issue.
objectivesThe ARYA study started off with studies evaluating (1) whether it is possible to predict cardiovascular risk at young adulthood by routinely measured adolescent data, and (2) evaluating the role of birth characteristics and adolescent characteristics to the development of vascular damage at young adulthood.
methodsThe ARYA study comprises of two cohorts of young adults. The Utrecht cohort includes 750 young adults, aged 27-30 years. The Hague-cohort includes 261 young adults born between 1963 and 1968. Data on birth characteristics, growth in early infancy as well as adolescent anthropometry, blood pressure, lipids, body mass index were obtained from the original medical records of the Municipal Health Service. In 1999/2001, the extent of subclinical vascular damage was measured using carotid wall thickness and aortic stiffness. Also, data on adult cardiovascular risk profile, bone density and central blood pressure were assessed, fasting blood was drawn and timed overnight urine samples were collected.
conclusionThe ARYA study is aimed to provide data on early determinants of cardiovascular risk, including vascular damage, at an early age. This knowledge enhances the understanding of atherosclerosis development and CVD risk and is needed to improve the available primary prevention programs.
