Estimation of 10-year cardiovascular risk among adult population in western Nepal using nonlaboratory-based WHO/ISH chart, 2023: A cross-sectional study.
Article in Health science reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Background and Aims: Noncommunicable diseases have emerged as a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide among which the majority of the deaths are caused by cardiovascular diseases. Estimating the risk of cardiovascular diseases helps eliminate the risk factors and prevent developing cardiovascular diseases in the future. The World Health Organization in association with the International Society of Hypertension has developed risk charts for the estimation of 10-year risk for cardiovascular diseases. This study aimed to estimate 10-year cardiovascular risk in the Nepalese population using nonlaboratory-based charts. Methods: A hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 314 adults aged 40-74 years visiting the outpatient departments of Shishuwa Hospital in western Nepal. Systematic random sampling was used to select the participants. Questionnaire-guided short interviews, physical examination, and anthropometric measurements were done. The Results: As per the risk estimation charts, high cardiovascular risk (20%-30%) was seen in 6.1% of total participants and moderate cardiovascular risk (10%-20%) was found in 29% of participants. The moderate-high risk was significantly higher among male participants compared to females ( Conclusion: This study shows high cardiovascular risk among adult population in western Nepal. The 10-year cardiovascular risk score and risk factors were significantly higher among males than females. There seems to be a prompt necessity of health promotion interventions to reduce cardiovascular risk factors and prevent the burden of cardiovascular diseases in Nepal.
