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 and Aims: Cardiovascular disease remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, making early detection and risk assessment critical. Various clinical tools, including the Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease (ASCVD) risk score, have been developed to predict cardiovascular risk. This study aimed to evaluate the association of various Electrocardiogram (ECG) findings with 10-year ASCVD risk scores in asymptomatic individuals without prior cardiovascular events, using data from the Shiraz Heart Study (SHS). Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study included participants aged 40-70 years from the Shiraz Heart Study (SHS). Inclusion criteria required complete ECG data and recorded ASCVD risk factors. ECG findings, encompassing both continuous and categorical variables, were reviewed by trained cardiologists. ASCVD risk scores were calculated using demographic and clinical variables. Statistical analyses, including multivariate regression, assessed associations between ECG parameters and 10-year ASCVD risk scores, adjusting for key confounders. Result: A total of 1471 participants were included in the study, with 44.5% male ( Conclusion: ST depression and LBBB show a modest association with cardiovascular risk stratification using the 10-year ASCVD risk score. Incorporating these ECG markers into clinical assessments may aid in identifying high-risk individuals, enabling more personalized interventions and refining cardiovascular risk prediction models.
