Review in Revista panamericana de salud publica = Pan American journal of public health, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveTo analyze the available evidence regarding the association between C-peptide and cardiovascular and overall mortality.
methodsA systematic review of MEDLINE and EMBASE was performed. Articles published in English, Portuguese, or Spanish, reporting observational studies investigating the association between C-peptide and cardiovascular or overall mortality were included. The association between C-peptide and cardiometabolic risk factors, hemodynamic factors, and anthropometric measures was also investigated. The methodological quality of studies was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale.
resultsThe literature search revealed 107 articles on the topic of interest. Following the screening step, 18 articles presenting data on the association between C-peptide and cardiovascular risk were included. Five studies provided data on the relationship between C-peptide and cardiovascular or overall mortality. C-peptide was positively associated with body mass index in Chinese individuals, and inversely associated with HDL cholesterol in population samples from Asia, Middle East, and the United Stated. Nevertheless, meta-analysis of cardiovascular risk components was not possible. In the meantime, C-peptide was associated with cardiovascular mortality (RR = 1.62; 95%CI: 0.99-2.66) and overall mortality (RR = 1.39; 95%CI: 1.04-1.84).
conclusionsThe present systematic review and meta-analysis showed that serum levels of C-peptide were positively associated with overall mortality in all individuals and with cardiovascular mortality in individuals without comorbidities. Based on these results, it is possible to recommend the use of C-peptide in clinical practice as a proxy of insulin resistance associated with cardiovascular mortality.
