Effect of non-pharmacological interventions on adults with cardiovascular risk in a rural community.

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
Background: Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, with three-fourth of deaths occurring in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) like India. Currently, three out of the top five causes of morbidity and mortality in the country are NCDs. Objective: This study evaluated the impact of non-pharmacological interventions as a comprehensive approach toward adults with cardiovascular risk in Indian rural communities. Material and Methods: It was a quasi-experimental study conducted in Rishikesh, a holy city of Uttarakhand known as the world's yoga capital at the foothills of Himalaya. Out of 87 villages, four villages were randomly selected. Eighty-eight participants were enrolled (22 from each village and household). It was a multi-stage random sampling. All the participants with cardiovascular risk and age >30 years were recruited. Pregnant, severely ill, and unwilling to consent were excluded. Non-pharmacological intervention as a comprehensive approach, including yoga, meditation, mental health counseling, dietary counseling, tobacco, and alcohol cessation counseling has been provided to cardiovascular risk participants. Results: Data of 76 participants were analyzed as the per-protocol analysis method. The drop-out rate was 13.63%. Male and female participants were 52 (68.4%) and 24 (31.6%) in number. Mean age of the participants was 55.28 ± 13.64 years.
