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

The pooled cohort Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease (ASCVD) risk calculator is designed to improve cardiovascular risk estimation compared with the Framingham Risk Score, particularly in blacks. Although the ASCVD risk score better predicts mortality and incident cardiovascular disease in blacks, less is known about its performance for subclinical vascular disease measures, including arterial stiffness and carotid intima-media thickness. We sought to determine if the ASCVD risk score better identifies subclinical vascular disease in blacks compared with the Framingham risk score. We calculated both the Framingham and ASCVD cohort risk scores in 1,231 subjects (mean age 53 years, 59% female, 37% black) without known cardiovascular disease and measured the extent of arterial stiffness, as determined by pulse wave velocity (PWV), central pulse pressure (CPP), and central augmentation index (CAIx), and subclinical atherosclerosis, as determined by carotid-IMT (C-IMT). Compared with whites, blacks had higher CAIx (23.9 ± 10.2 vs 22.1 ± 9.6%, p = 0.004), CPP (36.4 ± 10.5 vs 34.9 ± 9.8 mmHg, p = 0.014), PWV (7.6 ± 1.5 vs 7.3 ± 1.3 m/s, p = 0.004), and C-IMT (0.67 ± 0.10 vs 0.65 ± 0.10 mm, p = 0.005). In a multivariable analysis including race and Framingham risk score, race remained an independent predictor of all measures of subclinical vascular disease; however, models with race and the ASCVD risk score showed that race was not an independent predictor of subclinical vascular disease. In conclusion, greater subclinical vascular disease in blacks was not estimated by the Framingham risk score. The new ASCVD risk score provided a better estimate of racial differences in vascular function and structure.
