Clustering of comorbidities.
Article in Future healthcare journal, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
Within the last decade, clustering of comorbidities has become an increasing health problem on a global scale and will continue to challenge healthcare professionals in the coming years. People with multiple diseases find difficulties in managing their daily lives due to the implications each disease brings; attending and keeping up to date with hospital appointments, being prescribed and taking various medications, the effects of mental health and quality of life, and the impact it has on their families. Most research in clinical trials often exclude individuals with multimorbidity and observational studies mainly focus on single disease outcomes, therefore there is an opportunity to encourage future research in an area which could help prevent further cases and improve the lives of those already living with multimorbidity. This review aims to summarise the rising prevalence and most common clusters, highlight the challenges faced in healthcare, and explore ways to improve future research.
