Thirty-Year Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease Risk Among US Adults Aged 30 to 59 Years.

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
backgroundThe 2023 Predicting Risk of Cardiovascular Disease Events equations estimate 30-year atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk for adults aged 30 to 59 years to inform preventative treatment decisions. We aimed to characterize 30-year ASCVD risk in the eligible US population.
methodsWe examined adults aged 30 to 59 without known ASCVD who participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 2017 to March 2020 cycle. Using survey weighting to generate nationally representative estimates with 95% CIs, we described 10-year and 30-year ASCVD risk and risk factor control. We then estimated the absolute risk reduction of statin use in populations at high 30-year risk (≥20%.
resultsThe cohort included 3229 participants without known ASCVD (mean [SD] age, 44.6 [8.8] years; 49.8% women), representative of 101.9 million (95% CI, 92.2-111.6) US adults. The mean estimated 10-year ASCVD risk was 2.0% (95% CI, 1.9%-2.1%), and the mean 30-year risk was 9.7% (95% CI, 9.4%-10.1%). Of the 9% of the population with high estimated 30-year ASCVD risk, 32.4% (95% CI, 24.0%-40.7%) reported statin use. Most adults with high 30-year ASCVD risk had multiple uncontrolled risk factors, including elevated blood pressure (70.8% [95% CI, 62.4%-79.2%]), obesity (59.9% [95% CI, 52.6%-67.2%]), and elevated total cholesterol (56.2% [95% CI, 45.5%-66.9%]). Expanding primary prevention statins to adults with high 30-year ASCVD risk would change recommendations for 2.5 million (95% CI, 1.9-3.2) adults not currently receiving statins, with an average number needed to treat over 10 years to prevent 1 ASCVD event of 78.3 (95% CI, 74.6-82.0).
conclusionsUse of the Predicting Risk of Cardiovascular Disease Events 30-year ASCVD risk equations would identify a population of US adults with low 10-year but high 30-year risk who may warrant enhanced primary prevention strategies.
