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

Introduction: The Mongolian government recently initiated the first nationwide health screening program to assess the health status of the entire population using age-group specific health risk assessments related to the major noncommunicable diseases and behavioral risk factors. Based on data collected from nationwide health screening program, we estimated the distribution of 10-year cardiovascular disease (CVD) risks in the general population by using the risk prediction model recently published by the World Health Organization (WHO). Methods: A representative sample of 35,769 adults aged between 40 and 80 years old participated in nationwide health screening program, which covered all 21 Mongolian provinces and 9 districts in the capital city Ulaanbaatar. Data used in the present study were obtained from the first wave of the screening program, which was held throughout Mongolia between May 2022 and February 2023. To assess the four categories of CVD risk and determine the 10-year risk of a fatal/non-fatal event, we used the WHO CVD risk 2019 laboratory-based cardiovascular disease risk charts. The following key risk factors were used to assess the 10-year CVD risk: gender, age, location, smoking status, body mass index, total cholesterol level, history of diabetes, fasting glucose level, and blood pressure level. The 10-year risk for CVD was divided into four groups: low risk (< 10%), mild risk (10 to 20%), moderate risk (20 to 30%), and high risk (> 30%). Results: Total of 35,769 adults aged between 40 and 80 years old participated in the nationwide health screening program. The mean age of the participants in the screening program was 54.4 ± 9.3 years. According to the CVD charts published by the WHO, about 48% ( Conclusion: More than half of the screening program participants were identified as having a 10-year CVD risk greater than 10%. Effective intervention focusing on the male population living in urban areas, and target on major risk factors like hypertension, smoking and diabetes can be strategic approach to reducing the CVD risk in Mongolia.
