Relationship between carotid artery intima-media thickness and cardiovascular risk factors in Chinese Uygur population.
Article in International journal of clinical and experimental medicine, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
aimsTo investigate the relationships between carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) and conventional cardiovascular risk factors in Uygur population.
methodsIn totally 226 Uygur subjects, common carotid IMT values were detected, and the anthropometric and laboratory measurements were recorded.
resultsCorrelation analysis showed that the factors of age, BMI, SBP, DBP, PP, hypertension, TC, LDL-C, TG, Apo B, diabetes mellitus, glucose, smoking status, creatinine, IHD, and stroke were significantly and positively associated with carotid IMT in Uygur males. In Uygur females, significant positive associations with carotid IMT were observed for age, BMI, SBP, DBP, PP, hypertension, TC, LDL-C, TG, diabetes mellitus, glucose, IHD, and stroke, and a significant inverse association was found for HDL-C. Multiple regression analyses suggested that LDL-C, age, TG, creatinine, BMI, smoking, hypertension, and diabetes were independently associated with carotid IMT in Uygur males. However, for carotid IMT in Uygur females, SBP, age, TG, HDL-C, BMI, and diabetes were independent determinants.
conclusionCarotid artery IMT could be used as a predictive tool for atherosclerotic lesions and cardiovascular diseases in Uygur population, which might contribute to the prevention and management of the local disease.
