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

There is high prevalence of major cardiovascular risk factors (MCVRF) in Spain, equal or greater than the rest of the countries in Europe, with a tendency to increase, while the their control is in general sub-optimal. In the clinical setting, and in Primary Care clinics in particular, preventive activities and early detection (screening) of MCVRF that are well established by the scientific evidence should be carried out. Smoking should be tackled and treated with decisively, even more so in the context of the favourable current legislation. The measurement of risk factors makes it easy to take decisions in clinical practice, but should not be substituted for clinical judgement, given the limitation of the currently available calculation methods. The concept of overall focus on cardiovascular risks can obtain a reduction of the risk by the synergetic action on the different MCVRF in each individual case. The aim must be to reduce the probability of having a cardiovascular disease in the future, as well as the loss in quality of life, incapacity and associated mortality.
