Economic methods in the century trial--a comprehensive lifestyle modification study for managing coronary artery disease.
Trial report in Journal of cardiovascular translational research, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
While most studies assess the cost-effectiveness of treating acute coronary conditions, the Century Health Study for Cardiovascular Medicine (Century Trial) focuses on ameliorating coronary artery disease (CAD) through a comprehensive lifestyle modification program. This 1,300-patient phase III randomized study uses positron emission tomography for risk stratification, complemented with comprehensive educational and motivational therapy for patients with preclinical or established CAD. The Century Trial is in its second year of a five-year follow-up protocol, and it is one of the first to combine imaging technology and lifestyle modification as a way to improve patient behavior and health. In this article, we present the economic study design used in the Century Trial and provide considerable methodological detail to serve as reference for other researchers. We describe the cost and effect estimation methods as well as our analysis and uncertainty modeling plans. The study will incorporate quality-adjusted life years and use a societal perspective to measure both in-trial and lifetime costs through incremental cost-effectiveness ratios. The approach we follow should provide further evidence on the cost-effectiveness of comprehensive lifestyle modification programs in regressing coronary artery disease.
