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

AIMS/

introductionThe prevalence of prediabetes has become a global epidemic, and prediabetes is often accompanied with metabolic syndrome (MS). However, the association between MS and cardiovascular (CV) risk among individuals with prediabetes in China remains unknown. The present study aimed to identify the relationship of MS with CV risk in Chinese adults with prediabetes. MATERIALS AND

methodsAltogether, 19,464 participants with prediabetes were enrolled at baseline and were followed up prospectively. Prediabetes is defined as a fasting plasma glucose level between 5.6 and 6.9 mmol/L, and with neither a history of diabetes nor current use of hypoglycemic drugs. Participants were classified on the basis of the presence of MS, according to the definition of the International Diabetes Federation. Main outcomes include major CV events. Incidence rates were expressed in cumulative incidence and person-years incidence. Cox proportional hazards analysis was used to estimate the risk of major CV events.

resultsAt baseline, the mean age was 51.9 ± 11.4 years, and 85.6% (n = 16,663) were men. During a median follow-up period of 10.0 years, a total of 1,169 major CV events occurred, including 921 strokes and 273 cases of myocardial infarction. The cumulative incidences were 9.0% (8.1-10.0%), 6.8% (6.0-7.6%) and 2.5% (2.0-3.0%) for total CV events, strokes and myocardial infarction. Regardless of the risk of total CV events, or the risk of stroke or myocardial infarction, the number of prediabetes individuals with MS was higher than those without, and the hazard ratio was 1.50 (95% confidence interval 1.31-1.73), 1.42 (95% confidence interval 1.21-1.67), 1.78 (95% confidence interval 1.34-2.36), respectively.

conclusionsAmong the Chinese population with prediabetes, the risk for major CV events was significantly higher in those with MS than those without.
