Unveiling Cardiovascular Risk Among Older Adults in Eastern India: A Community-Based Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 Cardiovascular disease (CVD) poses major public health challenges in low-resource settings like India, where it contributes significantly to premature mortality and morbidity. This study assessed 10-year CVD risk and its associated factors among community-dwelling older adults in Eastern India. Methods This cross-sectional study, conducted in rural and urban areas of Deoghar, Jharkhand, in 2023, assessed 477 adults (aged 40-74 years) using the World Health Organization/International Society of Hypertension (WHO/ISH) South Asian Region (SAR) non-laboratory risk chart. Multinomial logistic regression identified predictors of moderate-to-high CVD risk. Results Among participants, 75.8% had a low 10-year CVD risk (< 10%), 22.2% had moderate risk (10% to <20%), and 1.9% had high risk (≥20%). Predictors of moderate-to-high CVD risk (≥10%) identified through multinomial logistic regression included increasing age (adjusted odds ratio (AOR): 2.0; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.8-2.3), male gender (AOR: 16.0; 2.4-106.3), lower per capita monthly income (PCMI) (AOR: 3.0; 1.0-8.9), family history of hypertension, diabetes, or heart disease (AOR: 5.7; 1.8-18.4), central obesity (AOR: 11.9; 3.5-40.9), and tobacco use (AOR: 8.2; 2.0-33.6). Regular physical activity (≥30 minutes/day) was a protective factor (AOR: 0.2; 0.1-0.8). The model accounted for 81.8% of the variability in cardiovascular risk outcomes. Conclusions About one-fourth of older adults were identified as having moderate-to-high 10-year CVD risk. Central obesity and tobacco use emerged as significant predictors, while regular physical activity offered protective benefits. Implementing targeted interventions to address modifiable risk factors is the need of the hour to mitigate CVD risk.
