Features and risk factors of carotid atherosclerosis in a population with high stroke incidence in China.

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
Epidemiological studies have reported associations between traditional cardiovascular risk factors and carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) or carotid plaque. However, definite risk factors at different phases of carotid atherosclerosis remain controversial. We aimed to explore risk factors and characteristics of carotid atherosclerosis at different stages in a low-income population with a high incidence of stroke in China. Between April 2014 and January 2015, we recruited 3789 stroke-free and cardiovascular disease-free residents aged ≥ 45 years. B-mode ultrasonography was performed to measure CIMT and the presence of carotid plaque. Traditional risk factors were compared between the increased CIMT group and normal CIMT group, and between those with and without carotid plaque. A total of 3789 participants were assessed in this study, with a mean age (standard deviation) of 59.92 (9.70) years. The prevalence of increased CIMT and carotid plaque increased with older age and higher education levels. Age, hypertension, diabetes, and high low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels were risk factors for increased CIMT and carotid plaque. Furthermore, compared to never smoking, passive smoking was positively associated with increased CIMT, with an odds ratio (95% confidence interval) of 1.26 (1.05, 1.53;
