Psychosocial, Mental, and Suboptimal Health Measures Are Not Affected by Provision of Abdominal Aortic Calcification Imaging Results: A 12-Week RCT.

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
Introduction: The provision of abdominal aortic calcification imaging results can elicit cardiovascular disease risk-reducing behaviors. However, its impact on psychosocial, mental, and suboptimal health measures is less clear. Methods: Secondary analyses of a previously reported 12-week, single-blind RCT including 240 community-dwelling older Australian males and females were conducted. Participants were provided with abdominal aortic calcification imaging results and cardiovascular disease risk-reducing educational resources (abdominal aortic calcification+education, Results: A total of 240 participants (mean±SD age=67.8±5.0 years; 57.5% female) were randomized, and 227 (95%) completed the study. Approximately 57% had evidence of abdominal aortic calcification (≥1 on a 24-point scale) at baseline. Providing abdominal aortic calcification imaging results to older males and females did not affect psychosocial health, mental health, and suboptimal health measures compared with control+education (all Conclusions: In older males and females, the provision of abdominal aortic calcification, along with education on cardiovascular disease risk factors, did not alter measures of psychosocial, mental, and suboptimal health status over 12 weeks compared with the provision of education alone.
