Article in Cardiovascular journal of Africa. 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
Data collected by the Pan-African Society of Cardiology for the World Heart Federation's Cardiovascular Diseases Scorecard project in Africa are presented. We summarise the strengths, threats, weaknesses and priorities identified from the collected data for South Africa, which need to be considered in conjunction with the associated sections in the accompanying infographic. Data sets that were used include open-source data available online and government publications. In the section on priorities and the way forward, we highlight the multifactorial health challenges with which South Africa has had to deal and the progress that has been made.
