Age Group Differences in the Awareness of Lifestyle Factors Impacting Cardiovascular Risk: A Population-Level Study.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectiveThis study evaluated the age-group differences in the levels of awareness of cardiovascular lifestyle risk factors.
methodsData from 5,219 individuals were analyzed. Age was classified as young, middle-aged, and older adults. Lifestyle factors included smoking, exercise, noting calorie information, and alcohol. The Chi-square (Χ2) test was used to analyze age-group differences in awareness. Multiple logistic regression was used to examine the relationship between age group and level of awareness.
resultsAwareness of at least one lifestyle factor was highest in middle-aged adults at 47.8% (2232/5095), followed by young adults at 32.1% (991/5095) and older adults at 20.1% (1872/5095). The older age group was linked to an increment in the odds ratios (AOR: 1.47, CI: 1.06 to 2.03) of being aware of exercise recommendations. There was a significant association between the middle-aged (AOR 0.74, CI: 0.56 to 0.99) and older-aged (AOR 0.76, CI: 0.58 to 0.99) categories with reduced odds of individuals becoming increasingly aware of the calorie information found in various menu boards and food menus.
conclusionMiddle-aged adults were the most aware of lifestyle risk factors. Middle-aged or older adults are associated with being less aware of calorie information on food menus and menu boards. Further research should evaluate the reasons behind low levels of awareness in younger adults.
