Patterns of Multimorbidity in Adults: An Association Rules Analysis Using the Korea Health Panel.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 33 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
This study aimed to identify the prevalence and patterns of multimorbidity among Korean adults. A descriptive study design was used. Of 11,232 adults aged 18 and older extracted from the 2014 Korean Health Panel Survey, 7118 had one or more chronic conditions. The chronic conditions code uses the Korean Standard Classification of Diseases. Association rule analysis and network analysis were conducted to identify patterns of multimorbidity among 4922 participants with multimorbidity. The prevalence of multimorbidity in the overall population was 34.8%, with a higher prevalence among women (40.8%) than men (28.6%). Hypertension had the highest prevalence in both men and women. In men, diabetes mellitus and hypertension yielded the highest probability of comorbidity (10.04%). In women, polyarthrosis and hypertension yielded the highest probability of comorbidity (12.51%). The results of the network analysis in four groups divided according to gender and age showed different characteristics for each group. Public health practitioners should adopt an integrated approach to manage multimorbidity rather than an individual disease-specific approach, along with different strategies according to age and gender groups.
