1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

purpose of reviewThis review examines cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk prediction models relevant to older adults, a rapidly expanding population with elevated CVD risk. It discusses model characteristics, performance metrics, and clinical implications. RECENT

findingsSome models have been developed specifically for older adults, while several others consider a broader age range, including some older individuals. These models vary in terms of predictors, outcomes, horizon, and statistical approaches, with some accounting for competing risks and considering age-predictor interactions. Discrimination is generally acceptable and more modest in older versus younger individuals. Calibration shows great variation across populations. Accurate CVD risk prediction is essential to guide individualized prevention strategies and support shared decision-making in older adults. CVD risk prediction in this population is challenged by age-related CVD risk heterogeneity, elevated competing risk due to non-CVD mortality, and comorbidities. Further refinement by incorporating geriatric-specific factors may help to enhance discrimination.
