AHA Life's essential 8 and ideal cardiovascular health among young adults.
Article in American journal of preventive cardiology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 67 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
Objective: This study assessed cardiovascular health (CVH) in young adults using the 2022 AHA Life's Essential 8 (LE8) score and compared it with the Life's Simple 7 (LS7) score. Methods: Individuals aged 18 to 44 years without a history of cardiovascular disease in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) cycles were included. Data from 2007-2008 to 2017-2018 were combined to create 3 groups (2007-2010, 2011-2014, and 2015-2018) for analysis. The LE8 score and its components were computed in the overall population and stratified by sex and race/ethnicity. Trends for the LE8 score were analyzed using adjusted linear regression models. Results: Among 12,197 young adults, representing an estimated 89.4 million individuals, from the NHANES 2007-2018, the CVH in the overall population and across all subgroups was stable (P Conclusion: Among US young adults, there has been no improvement in CVH over the last decade with notable sex and race/ethnicity-associated differences in the LE8 score. Nearly 1 in 4 young adults had ideal CVH using the LE8 score compared with 1 in 2 individuals using the LS7 score.
