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

The main purpose of prognostic risk prediction models is to identify individuals who are at risk of disease, to enable early intervention. Current prognostic cardiovascular risk prediction models, such as the Systematic COronary Risk Evaluation (SCORE2) and the SCORE2-Older Persons (SCORE2-OP) models, which represent the clinically used gold standard in assessing patient risk for major cardiovascular events in the European Union (EU), generally overlook socioeconomic determinants, leading to disparities in risk prediction and resource allocation. A central recommendation of this article is the explicit inclusion of individual-level socioeconomic determinants of cardiovascular disease in risk prediction models. The question of whether prognostic risk prediction models can promote health equity remains to be answered through experimental research, potential clinical implementation and public health analysis. This paper introduces four distinct fairness concepts in cardiovascular disease prediction and their potential to narrow existing disparities in cardiometabolic health.
