Cardiovascular Disease Risk Assessment of Adults in Mid to Late Life Attending Outpatient Clinics in West Bengal: A Cross-sectional Analysis.
Article in Journal of mid-life health. 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 diseases (CVDs) account for 32% of global deaths, with a significant share occurring prematurely in low- and middle-income countries such as India. Adults in mid-to late life face increased vulnerability due to cumulative exposure to behavioral and metabolic risk factors. Early identification of at-risk individuals can enable timely preventive interventions. Objective: To estimate the 10-year CVD risk and identify associated factors among adults aged 40-74 years attending a tertiary care hospital in Kolkata, West Bengal. Materials and Methods: An institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted from August to December 2024 among 221 adults aged 40-74 years, excluding those with preexisting CVD or severe comorbidities. Data on sociodemographic, clinical, and lifestyle factors were collected through face-to-face interviews using a pretested schedule. The World Health Organization/ISH nonlaboratory-based risk prediction chart was used to estimate 10-year CVD risk. Logistic regression analyses identified predictors of moderate-to-high CVD risk. Results: The median age was 53 years; 46.1% were aged 40-50 years. Overweight or obesity affected 47.9% of participants, 38.9% had prehypertension, and 19.5% had Stage II hypertension. Moderate (10-<20%) CVD risk was present in 25.7%, while 0.7% had high risk (≥30%). Psychological distress increased the odds of moderate-to-high CVD risk (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] 2.01, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.08-3.71), while moderate-to-high intensity physical activity was protective (AOR 0.39, 95% CI: 0.19-0.82). Conclusion: Among mid-to late-life adults, obesity, elevated blood pressure, and psychological distress were common, with over one-quarter at moderate 10-year CVD risk. Integrating mental health support and promoting physical activity into midlife health programs could reduce future CVD burden.
