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

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether fasting serum insulin levels, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and insulin-to-glucose ratio (IGR) were associated with incident hypertension. In a prospective study, 4093 Iranian participants (1725 men and 2368 women) without hypertension and known diabetes at baseline (1999-2001) were followed for a median of 8.9 years. Regular follow-up examinations were performed at 3-year intervals. Multivariate Cox proportional hazard models were used to calculate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of incident hypertension adjusting for sex, and in sex-stratified models. During the study, 896 incident cases of hypertension (432 men and 464 women) were identified (total incident rate: 27.5 per 1000 person-years). In the multivariable models, serum insulin level, HOMA-IR and IGR were positively associated with hypertension incidence, adjusting for sex. In the sex-stratified analyses, after adjusting for potential confounders, women in the highest quartile of insulin, HOMA-IR and IG had a significantly higher incidence of hypertension, compared with those in the lowest quartile (HR: 1.7 (95% CI 1.26-2.30); HR: 1.80 (95% CI 1.31-2.40) and HR: 1.67 (95% CI 1.26-2.22), respectively); among men, these relations were also significant, until including waist circumference and body mass index in the models (HR: 1.17 (95% CI 0.85-1.62), HR: 1.25 (95% CI 0.91-1.73) and HR: 1.06 (95% CI 0.77-1.45), respectively). Higher fasting serum insulin levels, HOMA-IR and IGR were associated with incident hypertension among women, whereas these associations were not significant after adjusting for obesity measures in men.
