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

introductionWorld Health Organization (WHO)/International Society of Hypertension (ISH) risk prediction charts are useful for predicting 10-year combined myocardial infarction and stroke risk (fatal and non-fatal). Hence the current study was conducted to assess the 10-year risk of cardiovascular disease among adults in Ahmedabad, India.

aimsThe primary aim of the study was to assess the cardiovascular risk among first-degree relatives of patients attending the outpatient clinic. Also, to create awareness regarding assessment of cardiovascular risk among the studied group. METHODS AND MATERIALS: A cross-sectional study was carried out among 372 first-degree relatives of patients at an out-patient cardiology clinic present in Vadaj, Ahmedabad. The WHO/ISH risk prediction chart for South-East Asia Region D (SEAR D) was used for calculating the 10-year cardiovascular risk.

resultsA maximum (80.10%) of the study participants were in the low-risk (<10%) category followed by 8.33% for moderate-risk (10-20%), 7.25% for moderately high-risk (20-30%), 2.42% for high-risk (30-40%) and 1.88% for very high-risk (>40%).

conclusionWHO/ISH risk prediction charts provide a quick and effective way to assess and categorize the population in a low-resource setting which in turn helps in delivering focused intervention to the high-risk groups.
