Cardiovascular risk using WHO-ISH chart among Diabetes and Hypertensive patients in a remote rural area of South India.
Article in Journal of family medicine and primary care, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionCardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are major problems in India and many other developing and developed countries. As India is committed to provide universal health care for the population, there is a need to find out the prevalence and determinants of CVD risk among high-risk individuals (Diabetes and Hypertensive patients) in the remote rural area of India to deliver appropriate services, as they are considered as neglected population.
methodsWe screened high-risk individuals (Hypertension and Diabetes patients) for CVD risk using WHO/ISH chart, in a remote rural area of south India, covering ten villages surrounding the Rural Health Training Centre (RHTC), in August-September 2017. After line-listing the participants from the electronic database of RHTC, screening with questionnaire and biochemical tests was done at village level as the first step. Thereafter, the participants were invited to the hospital on a particular day where electrocardiography (ECG) and echocardiography (ECHO) were done with special consultation.
resultsAmong the total of 303 individuals screened at the village level, 64 [21%(CI 17-25)] had a higher risk for CVD. 235 people attended the special consultation; among them, 212 underwent ECG and 88 underwent ECHO. Among those screened with ECHO, 18 had some cardiac pathologies. The relationship between CVD risk and other factors is shown in. After final adjustment, illiteracy [adjusted prevalence ratio (aPR) 1.8 (0.1-3.1)], anemia [aPR 1.8 (1-3.6)], and chronic renal diseases [aPR 1.8 (1.0-3.4)] were found to be associated with high risk for CVD among hypertension and diabetes groups.
conclusionCardiovascular disease risk assessment using WHO/ISH chart showed an association with poor education, anemia, and chronic kidney disease.
