Marital status and long-term cardiovascular risk in general population (Gubbio, Italy).
Article in Scientific reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
To investigate whether marital status is associated to long-term major fatal and non-fatal cardiovascular events in men and women from the Gubbio Population Study. The incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD), including stroke and coronary heart disease (CHD) and CVD death together with all-cause mortality were analyzed. The analysis included 2832 persons (44% men, 54 ± 11 years old). Marital status was defined at entry as married (married or living conjugally) versus unmarried subjects (widowed, separated, divorced or single). Married and unmarried subjects did not differ concerning socio-demographic, anthropometric and biological variables at baseline. Over 191 months median follow-up, the incidence of CHD was lower among married versus unmarried women [HR: 0.63 (95% CI 0.41-0.96)] only; the same was true for CHD mortality [HR: 0.43 (95% CI 0.22-0.84)] and all-cause mortality [HR: 0.75 (95% CI 0.59-0.96)] independently of traditional risk factors (age, SBP, total and HDL cholesterol, cigarette smoke and BMI). In men, marital status was not associated to any of the investigated outcomes. In primary care, marital status should be investigated as it can be associated with long-term CHD and all-cause incidence and mortality risks among women.
