Family history of cardiovascular disease and its modifiable risk factors and association with offspring risk profile.
Article in International journal of cardiology. Cardiovascular risk and prevention, 2026. 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: The aggregation of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) within families and offspring with parental CVD may influence both the levels of individual risk factors and the likelihood of developing these conditions. Methods: A total of 211 parents and their 211 biological offspring from the multigenerational longitudinal ICS2 study were included. The association of the parental history of CVD and its modifiable risk factors (obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia) with CVD risk factor levels in offspring was assessed using a Generalized Linear Mixed Model. Results: A positive parental history of CVD was associated with an increased risk of higher body mass index levels in offspring over time (p = 0.03). Parental diabetes was associated with an increased risk of higher waist circumference (p = 0.02), waist-to-hip ratio (p = 0.004), and fasting blood sugar (p < 0.001) in offspring. Parental hypertension was associated with an increased risk of higher waist circumference (p < 0.001), waist-to-hip ratio (p = 0.02), and systolic (p < 0.001) and diastolic blood pressure (p = 0.01) in offspring. Moreover, a positive parental history of dyslipidemia was associated with an increased risk of higher levels of total cholesterol (p < 0.001), triglycerides (p = 0.004), LDL cholesterol (p < 0.001), and systolic blood pressure (p = 0.01) in offspring over time. Conclusions: A positive parental history of CVD and its modifiable risk factors is associated with higher normal or abnormal levels of CVD risk factors among offspring. These findings suggest that the heritability of CVD is mediated through the familial transmission of cardiometabolic risk factors, particularly overweight and obesity.
