Association of Sensory Loss With the Knowledge of Heart Attacks.
Article in American journal of preventive medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionAwareness of heart attack symptoms and the best response is a national public health priority, especially among those at higher risk of heart disease. Adults with sensory loss are more likely to develop heart disease than those without and may be at risk of poor heart attack knowledge owing to limited patient-provider communication and access to health information. The aim of this study is to examine the association between sensory loss and heart attack knowledge.
methodsCross-sectional, nationally representative data from the 2014 and 2017 National Health Interview Survey were used. Analyses were conducted in 2021. Participants aged ≥20 years were included (N=61,168). Being aware of heart attack symptoms and the best response was considered as recognizing the 5 examined symptoms of heart attacks and the proper emergency response, as defined in the Healthy People 2020 objectives. Functional hearing and vision losses were defined as self-reported difficulty in hearing and seeing.
resultsOverall, 16.2% reported functional hearing loss, and 10.1% reported vision loss. Having vision loss was associated with a lack of knowledge of heart attacks symptoms or the best response (prevalence ratio=1.08, 95% CI=1.06, 1.11). In a separate model, having vision loss only and dual sensory loss (concurrent vision and hearing loss) were associated with not having this knowledge (prevalence ratio=1.09, 95% CI=1.06, 1.12 and PR=1.08, 95% CI=1.01, 1.15, respectively), but having hearing loss only was not (prevalence ratio=1.03, 95% CI=0.99, 1.06).
conclusionsNon-institutionalized adults with sensory loss may represent a group to target for improving the knowledge of heart attacks in the population.
