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

objectivesWe evaluated the association between socioeconomic status (SES) and incident cardiovascular disease (CVD) in a sample of the Iranian population.

methodsWe followed 6,504 participants who were initially free from CVD. At baseline, subjects were assessed for CVD risk factors and self-reported data were obtained for education, occupation, and income.

resultsAfter 24,379 person-years of follow-up (median = 4.8 years), 276 incident cases of CVD were detected. There was no significant association between the level of education and the incidence of CVD. In univariate analysis, retired individuals showed a significantly higher incidence of CVD than individuals who were working, and subjects in the highest tertile of income were less likely to suffer CVD than those in the lowest tertile. However, the associations disappeared after adjusting for age and sex. DISCUSSION: There was no detectable, independent association between the SES and incident CVD. The counterbalance of the higher exposure to CVD risk factors and better access to health-care services and more appropriate risk factor modification in higher socioeconomic classes might diminish the association of SES and CVD in developing countries.
