Estimation of cardiovascular risk among adults using WHO cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk charts: A community-based cross-sectional study.
Article in Journal of family medicine and primary care, 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
Introduction: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death globally with three-fourths of the deaths occurring in low- and middle-income countries. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), CVDs represent 32% of the total global deaths that occurred in 2019, which is indeed a very high number. Aim and Objectives: The aim of this study was to estimate the 10-year risk of cardiovascular events among adults aged ≥ 40 years in a rural population using the WHO CVD risk prediction charts for the South Asia region. Materials and Method: A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted on 240 subjects aged 40-74 years during the period of September 2021 to December 2021 in the rural areas of a district in north India. The two sets of the WHO CVD risk prediction charts, that is, laboratory-based and non-laboratory-based charts for the WHO South Asia region, were used to estimate the cardiovascular risk. Results: According to the WHO laboratory-based CVD risk charts, it was observed that 76.7% of subjects were at less than 10% risk, while 1.7% had ≥ 20% risk for cardiovascular diseases. Similarly, assessment with a non-laboratory-based chart level revealed that 80% of the participants had < 10% risk while 0.8% of them had ≥ 20% risk for cardiovascular diseases.1. Conclusions: The WHO CVD risk prediction charts can be used in low-cost resource settings as a tool to predict CVD risk among asymptomatic individuals, thus, helping in early detection, prevention, and management of CVDs in settings with limited resources.
