Hostility and fasting glucose in African American women.
Article in Psychosomatic medicine, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 8 papers.
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
objectiveTo examine whether the relationship of hostility (HOST) to fasting glucose indices is moderated by sex and race. HOST has been associated with abnormalities in glucose metabolism. Prior studies suggested that this association may be more prevalent in women and in African American (AA) individuals.
methodsA total of 565 healthy AA and white (W) men and women (mean age = 33 +/- 6 years) were assessed. HOST was measured by the 27-item version of the Cook Medley HOST Scale. The moderating effects of sex and race were evaluated for the associations of HOST to fasting glucose, insulin, and insulin sensitivity (HOMA-IR).
resultsAnalysis showed a moderating effect of sex and race on the association of HOST to fasting glucose (p = .03), but not for insulin (p = .12). Analysis of HOMA-IR revealed a trend (p = .06) for the interaction. Stratified analyses by race and sex revealed a positive association between HOST and fasting glucose only in AA women, which remained significant after controlling for age and body mass index.
conclusionA relationship between HOST and fasting glucose was evident in AA women only, a group that has twice the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes compared with W women. Further studies are needed to elucidate the mechanisms by which HOST may affect glucose metabolism in AA women.
