Focus on non-communicable diseases: an important agenda for the African continent.
Article in Cardiovascular diagnosis and therapy, 2013. 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
In Africa together with risk factors for cardiovascular diseases such as systemic hypertension, diabetes, tobacco smoking, alcohol consumption and overweight, there is an important role of poverty-related conditions in determining the burden of cardiovascular diseases. The management of common diseases such as untreated congenital heart disease, rheumatic heart valve disease and cardiomyopathies, highly prevalent in Sub-Saharan Africa, imposes an unsustainable burden to the health systems in this continent, and may hamper the efforts towards Africa's alignment with the Global Agenda for non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Thus to prevent death and disability by cardiovascular disease in Africa specific approaches need to be designed focusing not only on the global risk factors addressed by the United Nations Declaration, but also on the prevention and control of infections and poverty-related diseases.
