Association between education and the risk of incident coronary heart disease among middle-aged and older Chinese: the Dongfeng-Tongji Cohort.
Article in Scientific reports, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Educational achievement was related to cardiovascular disease in some western populations, but prospective evidence on the relationship between education and the risk of incident coronary heart disease (CHD) in Asians is scarce. We aimed to explore this association and the potential modifying effect of major CHD risk factors related to education in middle-aged and older Chinese adults. We included 18,551 participants with mean age 62.8 years at baseline between September 2008 and June 2010, and followed the population until October 2013. Cox proportional hazard models and log-binomial regression models were used for multivariate analyses. Compared with participants with low education, the adjusted hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI) for incident CHD in those with high education was 0.89 (95% CI: 0.80, 0.98). In addition, such inverse association between education and the risk of incident CHD was more evident among individuals who were more than 60 years, physically active, overweight, and hypertension. Besides, decreases in the relative index of inequality with high education versus low education were from 0.83 to 0.76 for hypertension, from 0.85 to 0.82 for diabetes. In conclusion, education was inversely associated with the risk of incident CHD among middle-aged and older Chinese adults.
