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
Objectives: To explore the implementation of cardiovascular risk management (CVRM) in Dutch RA patients from the perspective of rheumatologists and patients. Methods: An online survey was conducted among Dutch rheumatologists, rheumatology physician assistants (PAs) and RA patients. Healthcare providers completed a 37-item adapted version of the Determinants of Implementation Behavior Questionnaire to assess various aspects of CVRM implementation behaviour on a 7-point Likert scale. Simultaneously, a 13-item questionnaire was administered to RA patients to gather experiences related to CVRM. Data for both surveys were collected online between 23 September and 1 December 2024. Results: A total of 85 healthcare providers [93% rheumatologists, mean age 47.2 years (s.d. 8.8), 72% female] and 145 RA patients [mean age 58 years (s.d. 12.6), 89% female] completed the survey. Providers did not seem to lack (self-reported) knowledge on CVRM, yet significant implementation challenges were identified across several domains, including skills, professional roles and beliefs about capabilities. Time constraints, limited resources, insufficient financial support and the absence of local protocols were cited as major barriers. From the patient perspective, only 39% reported being informed about RA-related cardiovascular risks, mostly by rheumatologists. Rheumatologists frequently provided guidance on physical activity (21%), while general practitioners were more active in managing traditional cardiovascular risk factors, prescribing medications (23%) and offering self-management advice (16%). Conclusion: Our study highlights the main challenges in implementing CVRM in daily practice, indicating the need for the development of targeted strategies to overcome these barriers.
