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

introductionCardiometabolic risk factors contribute to increase the incidence of some of the most widespread noncommunicable diseases today. The propensity to present an elevated cardiometabolic risk appears to especially affect non-Caucasians ethnic groups, such as the Native American Mapuche population. In addition, urbanization process has also a great impact on lifestyle and cardiometabolic profile. Therefore, a systematic review and meta-analysis will be conducted to summarize the relevant evidence regarding lifestyle and cardiometabolic profile in Mapuche population, and to assess the role of the ethnicity and the urbanization process on the lifestyle and cardiometabolic profile in Mapuche people with respect to European descendants.

methodsA comprehensive search until 2019 will be performed using PubMed/MEDLINE, SciELO, Web of Science and Scopus. Observational studies, carried out in general population of Mapuche ethnicity living in rural and urban areas, with data of lifestyle and/or cardiometabolic profile, will be selected. A qualitative summary, as well as meta-analyzes when possible, will be done to present the information. Random effects meta-analyzes will be performed using the generic inverse variance method. Pooled effect size will be expressed as mean difference with 95% confidence intervals. Heterogeneity will be assessed using the Cochran Q-statistic and the I statistic. Stratified analyzes, meta-regressions, and sensitivity analyzes will be performed to evaluate potential sources of heterogeneity. In addition, random effects meta-regressions and stratified analyzes will also be used to examine the impact of covariates on the effect size estimated. Publication bias will be investigated using Egger and Begg test, and risk of bias will be assessed using the Research Triangle Institute Item Bank (RTI-IB). Finally, the quality of evidence will be evaluated through the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) guidelines.

resultsThe results of meta-analyzes will provide important information about differences in lifestyle and cardiometabolic profile between Mapuche people and European descendants, as well as between Mapuche people living in urban and rural areas.

conclusionThis systematic review and meta-analysis will be helpful to obtain a more reliable understanding of lifestyle and cardiometabolic profile in Mapuche population compared to European descendants, and the impact of the transition from rural to urban areas in this ethnic group.
