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

backgroundPrevalence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) is increasing with women affected at an early age. The Mini Female Health Program (MFHP) is a simple screening package to detect NCDs in women.

objectiveDetermine the prevalence of selected NCDs in a hospital-based outpatient setting using MFHP.

methodsA cross-sectional observational study was conducted in an urban teaching hospital in India. MFHP included medical history, physical examination and investigations. NCDS of interest included anaemia, thyroid disorders, hypertension, diabetes, and obesity. Analysis was performed on groups stratified by age groups (18-30, 31-40 and > 41 years). Between group comparison and association of hypertension with other variables was undertaken.

resultsFinal analysis included 468 women, of whom 49.8%, 29.9%, and 20.3% were between 18-30, 31-40, and >41 years, respectively. Central obesity was most common NCD (waist to height ratio (WHR) > 0.5 (72.7%), waist circumference (WC) > 80 cm (62.7%)) followed by generalized obesity (body mass index (BMI) > 25 kg/m

conclusionThe MFHP has highlighted the high prevalence of NCDs in women, particularly in young women demonstrating the value of simple screening programme in routine clinical care.
