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

Background: Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) screening/surveillance is implemented widely. Those in AAA-surveillance are at high-risk of cardiovascular-events. We developed an intervention, called CRISP, using intervention-mapping, to reduce cardiovascular-risk in AAA-surveillance. This study tested the CRISP intervention in routine clinical-care. Methods: The CRISP intervention, consisting of a nurse-led cardiovascular risk assessment and subsequent lifestyle change support using a self-care workbook and low-intensity nurse input was delivered in two screening/surveillance programmes. Those consenting to take part were followed-up with cardiovascular-assessments. Fidelity of intervention-delivery was assessed quantitatively/qualitatively. Results: 40 men (mean age 75 ± 7 years) took part over four months and followed-up for a minimum six months. A sub-group of 25 patients and nine Health Care Professionals (HCPs) were interviewed. The median number of risk-factors that patients chose to focus on was two (range 0 to 4), with physical activity (n=17) being the most popular. Participants who had a 'red light' risk factor for stress, low mood, smoking or alcohol intake were offered a referral to appropriate services. Two were offered referral to mental-health services and took it up, three declined referrals to smoking or alcohol support services. The fidelity of intervention-delivery (a score intervention components delivered to each patient based on a score from 0 to 5, with 5 being highest delivery fidelity) was generally low. The highest mean score (on a 0-5 scale) for the nurse assessment was 1.5 for engaging the participant, lowest 0.5 for exploring the importance for selected lifestyle behaviours. In qualitative interviews, the intervention was liked by patients/HCPs. Based on qualitative interviews and observations, the low fidelity of intervention-delivery was due to intervention-training not being detailed. Conclusions: CRISP can be delivered in AAA-surveillance, but fidelity of delivery is low. The intervention and its training need to be refined/tested before wider implementation.
