Effectiveness of a Cardiovascular Management System on Triple Risk Factor Control in High-Risk Older Adults: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial.
Article in JMIR research protocols, 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
Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in China. Although the National Basic Public Health Services Program provides annual health checkups for older adults, postscreening management of CVD risk factors such as hypertension, dyslipidemia, and diabetes is often inadequate. The CardioCare system is a digital cardiovascular management platform that integrates risk prediction, personalized health interventions, and continuous engagement to address these gaps. Objective: This trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the CardioCare system in improving triple risk factor control (simultaneous control of blood pressure, lipids, and glycemia) at 12 months among high-risk adults. Secondary objectives include assessing changes in estimated 10-year CVD risk, individual clinical parameters, medication adherence, lifestyle modification, system engagement, usability, satisfaction, and cost-effectiveness. Methods: This is a single-center, parallel-group, superiority randomized controlled trial with a 1:1 allocation ratio. A total of 300 adults aged ≥50 years with an estimated 10-year CVD risk of >10% and no previous CVD diagnosis will be recruited from the Health Management Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University in Guangzhou, China. Participants will be randomized to receive either the CardioCare system intervention or minimal usual care for 12 months. The intervention includes risk stratification and communication, weekly personalized SMS text messages or WeChat messages, and cardiologist oversight. The primary outcome is the proportion of participants achieving triple risk factor control at 12 months. Secondary outcomes include clinical, behavioral, usability, and economic measures. Analyses will follow the intention-to-treat principle, with multiple imputation for missing data. Results: This trial was funded on October 28, 2024. Recruitment is scheduled to begin in January 2026 and conclude in April 2026, with follow-up completed by June 2027. Data analysis will commence in mid-2027, and the main findings are expected to be published by the end of 2027. As of manuscript submission, recruitment has not yet started. Conclusions: This trial will provide robust evidence on the clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of the CardioCare system in managing multiple cardiovascular risk factors among high-risk adults. The findings will inform the potential for scaling this intervention within health checkup centers and integrating it into national chronic disease management strategies.
