Associations between lifestyle and initiation of cardiovascular preventive medicines in 60-year-olds at low to moderate cardiovascular risk level - a prospective cohort study based on the VIPVIZA-trial.
Trial report in BMC cardiovascular disorders, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT01849575 (Direct VIsualiZAtion of Asymptomatic Atherosclerotic Disease for Optimum Cardiovascular Prevention. A Population Based Pragmatic Randomised Controlled Trial Within Västerbotten Intervention Programme), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
backgroundMedicines complement healthy lifestyles in cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention, but knowledge is lacking on how behaviours in these domains are related. This study aimed at investigating associations between physical activity and diet, and time to initiation of preventive medicines.
methodA cohort study based on the "Visualization of Asymptomatic Atherosclerotic Disease for Optimal Cardiovascular Prevention" (VIPVIZA)-trial, including 60-year-olds of low/moderate CVD-risk who were treatment-naive to antihypertensives or lipid-lowering medicines six months prior trial-inclusion. Sex-specific Cox proportional hazards models were used to analyse impacts of diet and physical activity, each categorized in three levels (least healthy - moderately healthy - healthiest), on initiation of antihypertensives and lipid-lowering medicines.
resultsOf 1891 individuals in the cohort, 1340 (58% women) were antihypertensive-naive and 1783 (57% women) were lipid-lowering naive. Significantly faster initiation of antihypertensives was seen in women with the healthiest diet (HR [95%CI] 2.46 [1.18-5.14], ref. least healthy) whereas higher levels of physical activity were significantly associated with slower initiation of antihypertensives in women (HR [95%CI], moderate; 0.51 [0.30-0.88]), high; 0.48 [0.30-0.77], ref. low). Neither diet nor physical activity levels affected initiation of lipid-lowering medicines in women, and lifestyle factors were not associated with initiation of antihypertensives or lipid-lowering medicines in men.
conclusionsRelationships between lifestyle and medicine initiation varies with health behavior, drug-class, and sex. Regarding diet, initiation of antihypertensives in women may agree with a healthy adherer effect, whereas for physical activity, the association appear inverse. Diet and physical activity levels are less influential for initiation in men, and for lipid-lowering medicines. As findings are uncertain, further studies are needed to clarify relationships between these factors.
