Examination of physicians' adherence to the 2013 ACC/AHA statin/cholesterol guidelines using a framework of awareness to adherence: A cross-sectional study.

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
backgroundCurrently, limited data exists regarding primary care physicians' awareness and implementation of the 2013 cholesterol guidelines.
objectivesTo evaluate primary care physicians' adherence to the 2013 ACC/AHA cholesterol management guidelines using the framework of the awareness-to-adherence model.
methodsThe study was a cross-sectional pre-post survey design based on the constructs of the awareness-to-adherence model to capture physicians' awareness of, agreement with, adoption of, and adherence to the 2013 ACC/AHA guidelines for cholesterol treatment and statin and cholesterol management software applications. Physicians with a Medicare Advantage organization in Texas were surveyed before and after educational interventions.
resultsA total of 170 responses were considered usable (post-survey). A significant difference was observed when physicians were divided into 2 groups (any intervention vs no intervention) (
conclusionA high level of awareness, but a lower level of adherence to the guidelines was reported among responding physicians. The awareness-to-adherence model was useful in examining physicians' level of adherence to the cholesterol guidelines and the utilization of statin and cholesterol management cellular apps and online websites. Future studies are required to examine physicians' adoption and adherence of new guidelines.
