Non-Veterans Affairs primary care staff knowledge and attitudes regarding women veterans' cardiovascular health.

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: Despite burgeoning evidence of elevated cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk among women veterans, relatively little is known about the current state of knowledge among non-Veterans Affairs (VA) primary care staff regarding CVD risk and care among women veterans. Methods: This study assessed primary care staff within a large statewide, private, nonprofit hospital system to determine their baseline knowledge of general CVD risk factors and those specific to women veterans. We also evaluated staff awareness of their patients' veteran status, attitudes regarding health promotion and prevention practices, and perceptions of barriers to health promotion. Results: As hypothesized, primary care staff demonstrated strong knowledge of general CVD risk factors, but most showed poor to moderate knowledge of women veteran-specific CVD risk factors. Further, only a minority of respondents reported knowing their female patients' veteran status, highlighting an important care gap for this population. Conclusions: The current study highlights a knowledge gap among non-VA primary care staff that may contribute to the CVD diagnostic gap for women veterans. Implications for assessment and intervention in the primary care setting are discussed.
