Exploring Risk Constellations for Noncommunicable Diseases: A Community-Based Study From Northern India.
Article in Cureus, 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
backgroundNoncommunicable diseases (NCDs) have emerged as a leading public health challenge in rural India, largely driven by the clustering of non-modifiable, behavioral, and intermediate risk factors. METHODOLOGY: To determine the distribution and clustering of NCD risk factors, a community-based cross-sectional study was conducted among rural adults from three villages, namely, Umraha, Narayanpur, and Chittauna, in the Chiraigaon block of Varanasi district, North India. Using a multistage, stratified random sampling technique, 425 individuals aged 25-64 years were selected. Data collection was carried out over one year, from February 2019 to January 2020, using a culturally adapted WHO STEPwise questionnaire.
resultsBehavioral risks were highly prevalent, including inadequate fruit and vegetable intake (
conclusionsSubstantial clustering of modifiable NCD risk factors in this rural setting emphasizes the urgent shift from a conventional high-risk approach to community-led macro-level blanket intervention.
