Primary and Secondary Cardiovascular Prevention Among First Nations Peoples With Type 2 Diabetes in Canada: Findings From the FORGE AHEAD Program.
Article in CJC open, 2020. 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
backgroundFirst Nations (FN) peoples in Canada face spiraling rates of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Data on the extent of CVD risk-factor management in FN peoples with T2DM in Canada are scarce.
methodsA T2DM registry with data from 7 FN communities in Canada was utilized to identify individuals eligible for primary and secondary CVD prevention. Proportions of individuals meeting clinical practice guideline-specified targets (hemoglobin A1c ≤7.0%; blood pressure ≤130/80 mm Hg; low-density lipoprotein ≤2 mmol/L) were calculated. Prescription of recommended cardioprotective medications (antithrombotic medication, lipid-lowering agents, renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors, and beta-blockers) among those with CVD was assessed. χ
resultsOf the 2098 individuals in the registry, 18% had documented CVD (female: male = 1.12). Overall, <10% met all 3 clinical practice guideline targets. Attainment of hemoglobin A1c and blood pressure targets was comparable between primary and secondary CVD prevention groups, with<50% achieving targets. A greater proportion of the secondary prevention group met low-density lipoprotein targets compared to those without CVD (61.6% vs 40.9%,
conclusionsPrimary and secondary CVD prevention recommendations for individuals with T2DM are not being met for an alarmingly high proportion of FN peoples. These findings serve as an urgent call for proactive measures to reduce CVD events and related mortality in this high-risk population.
