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

backgroundThe aim of this study was to determine the association between carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) and newly developed 10-year atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk score.

methodsParticipants were 201 Korean adults who underwent carotid ultrasonography at the Health Promotion Center of the Eulji General Hospital. We obtained information about medical history and lifestyle, and conducted laboratory tests. Carotid IMT by B-mode ultrasonography was measured. Carotid injury was considered present when the maximum carotid IMT was ≥0.9 mm or when arteriosclerotic plaques were detected. The 10-year ASCVD risk score was calculated using the 2013 American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association guidelines.

resultsMen had higher 10-year ASCVD risk score than did women (mean±standard deviation: 7.15±6.04 vs. 2.53±3.67, respectively; P<0.001). Ten-year ASCVD risk was significantly correlated with right maximum carotid IMT (r=0.307), left maximum carotid IMT (r=0.230), right mean carotid IMT (r=0.322), and left mean carotid IMT (r=0.264). The group with high 10-year ASCVD risk were at even higher risk of carotid injury than were the group with low 10-year ASCVD risk (odds ratio, 2.201; 95% confidence interval, 1.162-4.1706; P=0.019). Only 10-year ASCVD risk score was significantly associated with carotid injury (odds ratio, 4.104; 95% confidence interval, 1.570-10.729). Variables that were not included in the 10-year ASCVD risk score were not significantly associated with carotid injury.

conclusionThe findings of this study suggest that 10-year ASCVD risk score is associated with carotid injury.
