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

Introduction: Cardiovascular diseases have been the leading cause of death in the world for more than 20 years. They are generally unusual in premenopausal women due to the cardiovascular protection of endogenous estrogens, so the cardiovascular risk in these has traditionally been underestimated. Objectives: Establish a protocol for vascular risk screening in perimenopausal women from the community pharmacy. Material and methods: Descriptive study from an opportunistic sample in a community pharmacy of women between 45 and 55 years old. Participants were cited at the pharmacy and their cholesterol and blood pressure levels, weight, and height were taken. Information was collected on women's general and specific cardiovascular risk factors, medication they were taking and smoking. These data were used to estimate cardiovascular risk using SCORE tables. Results: 18 forms were collected, with the average age of the applicants being 49 (SD 3) years old. 38.9% (CI95%: 17.3 a 64.3) had high blood pressure and 44.4% (CI95%: 21.5 a 69.2) had cholesterol levels equal to or higher than 190 mg/ml. 100% had some traditional or specific risk factor for women. Conclusions: The usefulness of vascular risk screening in perimenopausal women is confirmed. All this places value on the intervention of the community pharmacist in the detection and management of cardiovascular risk factors.
