Helping young women go red: Harnessing the power of personal and digital information to prevent heart disease.
Article in Patient education and counseling, 2021. 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
objectiveCardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death for American women, yet young women are rarely the target population of CVD prevention campaigns. This study investigated young women's exposure to CVD information.
methodsWe surveyed 331 females ages 15-24 years to determine 1) whether participants felt informed about heart disease or stroke, 2) their exposure to heart disease information sources over the past year, and 3) whether they had ever discussed CVD-related topics with healthcare providers.
resultsOver half of participants reported feeling not informed about heart disease (52%) or stroke (59%). Participants were more likely to report feeling informed if they were exposed to information from websites or social media, or if they had ever discussed family history of heart disease, personal risk for heart disease, or high blood pressure with their healthcare provider.
conclusionsMost young women did not feel informed about CVD. Exposure to specific information sources and discussions with healthcare providers may help improve this. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: Public health campaigns should promote cardiovascular health through websites and social media popular amongst young women. Healthcare providers should discuss CVD risk factor modification with young patients in order to promote cardiovascular health across the life course.
