Gender-specific associations between coronary heart disease and other chronic diseases: cross-sectional evaluation of national survey data from adult residents of Germany.
Article in Journal of geriatric cardiology : JGC, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
backgroundCombinations of coronary heart disease (CHD) and other chronic conditions complicate clinical management and increase healthcare costs. The aim of this study was to evaluate gender-specific relationships between CHD and other comorbidities.
methodsWe analyzed data from the German Health Interview and Examination Survey (DEGS1), a national survey of 8152 adults aged 18-79 years. Female and male participants with self-reported CHD were compared for 23 chronic medical conditions. Regression models were applied to determine potential associations between CHD and these 23 conditions.
resultsThe prevalence of CHD was 9% (547 participants): 34% (185) were female CHD participants and 66% (362) male. In women, CHD was associated with hypertension (OR = 3.28 (1.81-5.9)), lipid disorders (OR = 2.40 (1.50-3.83)), diabetes mellitus (OR = 2.08 (1.24-3.50)), kidney disease (OR = 2.66 (1.101-6.99)), thyroid disease (OR = 1.81 (1.18-2.79)), gout/high uric acid levels (OR = 2.08 (1.22-3.56)) and osteoporosis (OR = 1.69 (1.01-2.84)). In men, CHD patients were more likely to have hypertension (OR = 2.80 (1.94-4.04)), diabetes mellitus (OR = 1.87 (1.29-2.71)), lipid disorder (OR = 1.82 (1.34-2.47)), and chronic kidney disease (OR = 3.28 (1.81-5.9)).
conclusionOur analysis revealed two sets of chronic conditions associated with CHD. The first set occurred in both women and men, and comprised known risk factors: hypertension, lipid disorders, kidney disease, and diabetes mellitus. The second set appeared unique to women: thyroid disease, osteoporosis, and gout/high uric acid. Identification of shared and unique gender-related associations between CHD and other conditions provides potential to tailor screening, preventive, and therapeutic options.
