Population-level changes in lifestyle risk factors for cardiovascular disease in the Heart of New Ulm Project.
Article in Preventive medicine reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Lifestyle significantly influences development of cardiovascular disease (CVD), but limited data exists demonstrating lifestyle improvements in community-based interventions. This study aims to document how lifestyle risk factors changed at the population level in the context of Heart of New Ulm (HONU), a community-based CVD prevention initiative in Minnesota. HONU intervened across worksites, healthcare and the community/environment to reduce CVD risk factors. HONU collected behavioral measures including smoking, physical activity, fruit/vegetable consumption, alcohol use and stress at heart health screenings from 2009 to 2014. All screenings were documented in the electronic health record (EHR). Changes at the community level for the target population (age 40-79) were estimated using weights created from EHR data and modeled using generalized estimating equation models. Screening participants were similar to the larger patient population with regard to age, race, and marital status, but were slightly healthier in regards to BMI, LDL cholesterol, blood pressure, and less likely to smoke. Community-level improvements were significant for physical activity (62.8% to 70.5%,
