The changes in cardiovascular disease risk factors after the implementation of the package of essential non-communicable disease control.
Article in Journal of cardiovascular and thoracic research, 2024. 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
Introduction: The Package of Essential Non-Communicable (PEN) Disease Control was implemented in the primary healthcare system to manage cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors in Iran. This study aimed to evaluate the status of CVD risk factor control following the implementation of the PEN. Methods: This historical cohort study was conducted among 60-65-year-old residents to compare hypertension (HTN) control via mean systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP), diabetes mellitus (DM) control via fasting blood sugar (FBS) and HbA1C tests, hyperlipidemia control via serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels, and overweight and obesity via body mass index (BMI) measurement in 2016 (before the implementation of the PEN project) and 2021 (after 5 years). Results: A total of 1,583 residents with a mean age of 62.32±1.70 years were included in the study. In 2021, compared to 2016, there was a significant decrease in the relative frequency of residents with high SBP from 13.7% to 9.3%, high DBP from 11.3% to 3.4%, FBS≥126 mg/dL from 25.6% to 19.7%, and BMI≥30 from 25.7% to 23.4%. Additionally, the mean DBP and the mean serum levels of FBS among all participants decreased significantly. However, the relative frequency of residents with total cholesterol≥200 mg/dL increased significantly from 11.5% to 14.2%. Conclusion: Following the implementation of the PEN, the control of HTN, DM, and obesity improved among 60-65-year-old residents. However, the control of hypercholesterolemia did not improve.
