Educational and Socioeconomic Inequality and Cardiovascular Risk in Peru: A Cross-Sectional Analysis.

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
backgroundLimited evidence exists on the relationship between socioeconomic disparities and cardiovascular disease in resource-limited settings, particularly in Latin America.
objectivesThe objective of the study was to assess the association between educational attainment, socioeconomic status (SES), and cardiovascular risk among Peruvian adults.
methodsWe performed a cross-sectional analysis using data from 24,048 adults included in the 2023 Peruvian Demographic and Family Health Survey. Educational attainment was categorized as none, primary, secondary, or superior education, and SES was divided into 5 quintiles. Ten-year cardiovascular risk was estimated using the 2019 World Health Organization risk charts and dichotomized as high (≥10%) or nonhigh (<10%). Logistic regression models were used to estimate ORs and 95% CIs for cardiovascular risk.
resultsOverall, 4.7% of adults were found to have a high cardiovascular risk, with substantial variation across education levels and socioeconomic status. In adjusted analyses, secondary and higher educational attainment were associated with substantially lower odds of high cardiovascular risk compared with no education (secondary: OR: 0.42; 95% CI: 0.25-0.71; superior: OR: 0.47; 95% CI: 0.30-0.73). These inverse associations were more pronounced among men, whereas among women the estimates were directionally similar but not statistically significant. In contrast, SES quintiles showed no independent association with high cardiovascular risk after adjustment for covariates.
conclusionsHigher educational attainment was independently associated with lower 10-year cardiovascular risk, whereas SES quintiles showed no association.
