Racial patterns of cardiovascular disease risk factors in serious mental illness and the overall U.S. population.
Trial report in Schizophrenia research, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
backgroundSerious mental illness (SMI) and minority race are each associated with elevated cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality. However, little is known about racial variation in CVD risk factors in individuals with SMI. This study aimed to determine racial patterns of CVD risk factors in individuals with SMI and to compare these patterns to those of the general population.
methodsOverweight/obese adults with SMI (163 whites; 111 African Americans) examined from 2008 to 2011 during a weight loss trial were compared at study baseline to overweight/obese adults (1103 whites; 550 African Americans) of similar age, sex, and race in the 2007 to 2010 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.
resultsAll CVD risk factors except cholesterol were higher in SMI than the overall U.S. population. After adjusting for age and sex, both racial groups with SMI had similarly high risks of smoking, obesity, diabetes, and hypertension, while African Americans with SMI had lower risks of high cholesterol (RR 0.73; 95% CI 0.57-0.94) and metabolic syndrome (RR 0.75; 95% CI 0.63-0.91) than whites with SMI. In the U.S. population sample, African Americans compared to whites had higher risks of obesity (RR 1.23; 95% CI 1.14-1.34), diabetes (RR 1.68; 95% CI 1.21-2.34), and hypertension (RR 1.44; 95% CI 1.31-1.60) but no significant difference in smoking, high cholesterol, and metabolic syndrome.
conclusionsCompared to the general population, the greater burden and dissimilar racial pattern of CVD risk factors in SMI underscore the need for CVD prevention programs targeting the SMI population.
