1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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 diseases remain the most common cause of sudden death and cause significant morbidity. We planned this study to assess awareness of cardiovascular risk factors among kin of myocardial infarction patients. We assessed 382 individuals for their knowledge of cardiovascular risk factors. Less than 50% of subjects identified cardiovascular risk factors correctly. Amongst the kins of patients 19.1%, 18.5%, 15.4% were newly diagnosed to have hypertension, impaired fasting blood glucose, diabetes in this study. This study reveals that most of the subjects were unaware of risk factors and were reluctant to adopt a healthy lifestyle. This is a lost opportunity for community-level preventive interventions. There is an unmet need for active health education, follow up with electronic support systems, and a team approach for a model preventive clinic.
