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

objectivesTo present the cardiovascular risk strata based on the Global HEARTS Initiative calculator and analyze statin prescription among users of Primary Health Care in São Leopoldo, Rio Grande do Sul.

methodsThis was a cross-sectional observational study including users aged 18 years or older listed in the Cardiovascular Risk Operational Report. Categorical data were presented as absolute and relative frequencies and 95% confidence intervals (95%CI). Associations between categorical variables were analyzed using the chi-square test or Fisher's exact test, with statistical significance defined as p-value≤0.050.

resultsIt was possible to calculate the cardiovascular risk of 2,199 users. Most users presented low (41.4%; 95%CI 39.3; 43.5) or moderate risk (38.0%; 95%CI 36.0; 40.1), while 19.6% (95%CI 18.0; 21.3) had high risk and 1.0% (95%CI 0.6; 1.4) had very high risk. Statin prescription was recorded in 29.5% (95%CI 27.6; 31.4) of the medical records. There was a statistically significant association (p-value<0.001) between cardiovascular risk and statin prescription, with higher prescription frequency among high-risk users (41.2%).

conclusionMost Primary Health Care users in São Leopoldo had low to moderate cardiovascular risk. The prescription of statins was consistent with clinical guidelines, considering cardiovascular risk in decision-making; however, it was reached by less than one-third of the overall sample.
