Association of major cardiovascular risk factors with the development of acute coronary syndrome in Lithuania.

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
Cardiovascular (CV) disease remains the leading cause of death in Lithuania. Timely recognition of CV risk factors and intervention to reduce these risk factors is of absolute importance to prevent coronary heart disease and reduce its burden on society. This study aimed to compare the prevalence of major CV risk factors in general population and acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients and to determine their association with the development of ACS. Five hundred and twenty-three ACS patients and 645 age- and gender-matched control subjects were enrolled in the study. Smoking, dyslipidaemia, diabetes, and hypertension, but not overweight or obesity, were significantly more prevalent in the ACS patients, compared with control group. The prevalence of smoking, overweight or obesity, and dyslipidaemia were significantly higher in younger patients. Hypertension was highly prevalent in all age subgroups. More than a half of all patients aged <45 years had three or four CV risk factors. Smoking [odds ratio (OR), 7.03,
