The Tyrolean early vascular ageing-study (EVA-Tyrol): study protocol for a non-randomized controlled trial : Effect of a cardiovascular health promotion program in youth, a prospective cohort study.
Article in BMC cardiovascular disorders, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03929692 (Effect of a Cardiovascular Health Promotion Program in Youth - The Tyrolean Early Vascular Ageing-study), which is not on this map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
backgroundAccording to the World Health Organization, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading non-communicable cause of death. Awareness of the individual risk profile is crucial to implement a healthy lifestyle and prevent CVDs. Multiple studies demonstrated that atherosclerosis, the main cause of CVDs, begins early in life. Therefore, it may be necessary to start prevention programs already in childhood.
methodsThe EVA-Tyrol study is a population-based non-randomized controlled trial that will prospectively enroll 2000 participants from high schools and training companies in North- and East-Tyrol (Austria) and South-Tyrol (Italy). Participants will be assigned to either an intervention (n = 1500) or a control (n = 500) group. Intervention group participants will be enrolled at the 10th school grade (mean age 15-16 years), undergo two examinations within a two-year interval, with follow-up at the 12th grade (mean ages 17-18 years). Control group participants will be enrolled at the 12th grade (mean age 17-18 years). Medical examination will include anthropometric measurements, comprehensive lifestyle and dietary questionnaires, a fasting blood sample, high-resolution ultrasound of the carotid arteries, and measurement of carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity. Active intervention will consist of (1) enhancing knowledge about CVDs, (2) individual medical counseling based on the results of the baseline examination, (3) an online health promotion tool and (4) involvement of participants in planning and implementation of health promotion projects. Effectiveness of the intervention will be assessed by comparing the proportion subjects with ideal health metrics as defined by the American Heart Association between study groups. DISCUSSION: This study aims to improve cardiovascular health in Tyrolean adolescents by demonstrating the efficacy of a multi-layer health promotion program and may yield novel insights into the prevalence of vascular risk conditions and mechanisms of early vascular pathologies in adolescents.
