Epidemiology and cardiometabolic care in adults with ASCVD and high 10-year ASCVD risk: 2021 WHO STEPS study in Iran.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. 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
Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) remains the leading cause of mortality and health burden worldwide. We aimed to assess ASCVD epidemiology, 10-year risk, and cardiometabolic care using nationally representative data in Iran. Using the 2021 Iran STEPS study, a cross-sectional analysis was conducted to evaluate ASCVD (self-reported myocardial infarction, angina, revascularization, or stroke) prevalence and annual event rate. The 2013 AHA/ACC pooled cohort equations estimated 10-year ASCVD risk in 10,298 participants aged 40-75 without ASCVD. Cardiometabolic care for hypertension, diabetes mellitus (DM), and hypercholesterolemia was assessed, along with statin use and cardiovascular health (CVH) metrics. Among 27,822 participants, representing 57.5 million adults, ASCVD prevalence was 7.4%. Among those without ASCVD, 19.1% had an intermediate and 5.4% had a high ASCVD risk. In the ASCVD group, hypertension and DM affected 77.0% and 34.7%, yet only 12.5% and 14.3% of the entire ASCVD group had them controlled, respectively. In adults without ASCVD, 2.9-5.3% of the entire risk groups achieved hypertension targets, 2.5-16.8% achieved glycemic targets, and 7.7-16.7% achieved lipid goals, despite condition prevalence spanning 47.4-94.4% for hypertension, 7.2-59.3% for DM, and 33.5-48.7% for hypercholesterolemia. CVH metrics were also unfavorable. The study revealed a high ASCVD burden and future risks with gaps in coverage, treatment, and control.
