Factors associated with hyperhomocysteinemia in relatively healthy Taiwanese adults: A retrospective medical record study.
Article in Medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
abstractElevated homocysteine levels have been proposed as a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. The aim of this study was to evaluate factors associated with hyperhomocysteinemia in relatively healthy Taiwanese adults.A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted using data from the health examination database in a medical center located in southern Taiwan. Hyperhomocysteinemia was defined as a plasma homocysteinemia level >15 μmol/L. Factors associated with hyperhomocysteinemia were evaluated using univariate and multiple stepwise logistic regression analyses.A total of 817 adults with a mean age of 55.5 years were included in the present study, and of them, 67 (8.2%) had hyperhomocysteinemia. Results from multiple logistic regression analysis showed that male sex (Odd ratio [OR] = 12.28, 95% CI = 2.94-51.27, P = .001), advanced age (OR = 1.37 per 10 years, 95% CI = 1.06-1.77, P = .017), triglycerides (OR = 1.02 per 10 mg/dL, 95% CI = 1.01-1.04, P = .010), and uric acid (OR = 1.27, 95% CI = 1.09-1.49, P = .004) were significantly and independently associated with hyperhomocysteinemia.In this retrospective medical record study, male sex, advanced age, higher plasma level of triglyceride, and uric acid were significantly associated with hyperhomocysteinemia in relatively healthy Taiwanese adults.
