Making a difference: describing and evaluating the impact of the Dutch CardioVascular Alliance.

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
introductionIn 2018, the Dutch CardioVascular Alliance (DCVA), a collaboration between 24 partners in the cardiovascular field, expressed the ambition to reduce the cardiovascular disease (CVD) burden in the Netherlands by 25% in 2030. This project aimed to evaluate the extent to which the activities within the DCVA contribute to a reduction in the burden defined as morbidity and mortality combined.
methodsThe role and potential impact of the DCVA was assessed. Three assessments were conducted: 1) to determine the potential impact of consortia (n = 32) using a checklist; 2) to estimate the potential health benefit (quality-adjusted life years, (QALYs)) and cost savings from a snapshot of consortia (n = 4).
resultsMost of the consortia focused on treatment (31%), followed by secondary prevention/monitoring (23%) and diagnosis (23%). Almost all consortia (n = 31) aim to reduce morbidity and two-thirds (n = 21) aim to reduce mortality. The four consortia evaluated were Check@Home, LoDoCo2, CONTRAST 2.0 and IMPRESS, with pathways in screening, treatment, treatment and diagnosis, respectively. The total estimated cumulative QALYs gained (from 2023 to 2030) were 1,694, 362, 2,783, and 3,655 respectively. DISCUSSION: Although it is impossible to estimate the full impact of the DCVA itself, the presented checklist and analyses may increase awareness of the different DCVA activities, roles, and consortia. Existing HTA methods can support the exploration of the potential impact generated by each consortium within the DCVA. The current portfolio of DCVA consortia contributes extensively to the DCVA goal of reducing the CVD burden, provided there is effective support for the adoption and implementation of innovations.
