The Association of Subscapular Skinfold with All-Cause, Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Mortality.
Article in Risk management and healthcare policy, 2020. 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
purposePrevious studies suggested inconsistent relationship between subscapular skinfold and all-cause, cardiovascular, and cerebrovascular mortality. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the associations between subscapular skinfold with all-cause, cardiovascular, and cerebrovascular mortality. PATIENTS AND
methodsData were collected from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES, 1999-2006) with follow-up data through 31 December 2015. Participants were categorized by subscapular skinfold quartiles. The hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were evaluated using the multivariate Cox regression model and subgroup analysis. Kaplan-Meier curves were used to present cause-specific mortalities and used Cox cubic regression splines to examine the association of subscapular skinfold with cause-specific mortalities.
resultsA total of 16,402 subjects (49.61% male) were involved in our study. After a mean follow-up of 141.73 months, there were 3078 (18.77%), 392 (2.39%), and 128 (0.78%) cases of all-cause, cardiovascular, and cerebrovascular mortality, respectively. Participants in the highest quartile of subscapular skinfold (≥24.80mm) versus the lowest (<13.20mm) had lower risk for all-cause mortality (HR, 0.71; 95% CI, 0.57-0.89; P for trend = 0.007) and cardiovascular mortality (HR, 0.44; 95% CI, 0.23-0.83; P for trend = 0.023) in the fully adjusted model. In the age-stratified analysis, subscapular skinfold was only inversely associated with all-cause and cardiovascular disease mortality in people ≥65 years of age (all P-interaction <0.001). No significant difference was found between subscapular skinfold and cerebrovascular mortality (all P > 0.05).
conclusionSubscapular skinfold showed an inverse association with all-cause and cardiovascular disease mortality in people aged ≥65 years.
