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

aimsAsians develop diabetes at lower levels of adiposity than people of other race/ethnicities. However, there is limited data investigating the health of US Asians with diabetes. We compared cardiovascular risk factors in US Asians to other race/ethnicities stratified by diabetes status.

methodsAmong 4645 adults in the 2011-2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), a cross-sectional survey of the US population, odds ratios were calculated for obesity, hypertension, and elevated low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol associated with race/ethnicity after adjustment for age, sex, income, education, smoking, alcohol consumption, and health insurance.

resultsOverall and stratified by diabetes status, non-Hispanic whites, non-Hispanic blacks, and Mexican-Americans were significantly more likely to be obese compared to non-Hispanic Asians after adjustment. Overall and stratified by diabetes status, adjusted levels of hypertension compared to non-Hispanic Asians was generally similar for non-Hispanic whites and Mexican-Americans and generally more common among non-Hispanic blacks; among those with diagnosed diabetes, the adjusted odds ratios (95% confidence interval) were 1.48 (0.79-2.77), 2.54 (1.49-4.30), and 1.38 (0.73-2.60) for non-Hispanic whites, non-Hispanic blacks, and Mexican-Americans, respectively. Overall and stratified by diabetes status, elevated LDL cholesterol levels were generally similar between non-Hispanic Asians and other race/ethnicities; among those with diagnosed diabetes, the adjusted odds ratios (95% confidence interval) were 0.88 (0.32-2.43), 0.58 (0.24-1.42), and 1.15 (0.29-4.58) for non-Hispanic whites, non-Hispanic blacks, and Mexican-Americans, respectively.

conclusionsAlthough non-Hispanic Asians had lower levels of adiposity compared to other race/ethnicities with diabetes, their adjusted levels of hypertension and LDL cholesterol were generally more comparable.
