Glucose dysregulation and subclinical cardiac dysfunction in older adults: The Cardiovascular Health Study.
Article in Cardiovascular diabetology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
objectiveWe evaluated whether measures of glucose dysregulation are associated with subclinical cardiac dysfunction, as assessed by speckle-tracking echocardiography, in an older population.
methodsParticipants were men and women in the Cardiovascular Health Study, age 65+ years and without coronary heart disease, atrial fibrillation, or heart failure at baseline. We evaluated fasting insulin resistance (IR) with the homeostatic model of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and estimated the Matsuda insulin sensitivity index (ISI) and insulin secretion with an oral glucose tolerance test. Systolic and diastolic cardiac mechanics were measured with speckle-tracking analysis of echocardiograms. Multi-variable adjusted linear regression models were used to investigate associations of insulin measures and cardiac mechanics.
resultsMean age for the 2433 included participants was 72.0 years, 33.6% were male, and 3.7% were black. After adjustment for age, sex, race, site, speckle-tracking analyst, echo image and quality score, higher HOMA-IR, lower Matsuda ISI, and higher insulin secretion were each associated with worse left ventricular (LV) longitudinal strain and LV early diastolic strain rate (p-value < 0.005); however, associations were significantly attenuated after adjustment for waist circumference, with the exception of Matsuda ISI and LV longitudinal strain (increase in strain per standard deviation increment in Matsuda ISI = 0.18; 95% confidence interval = 0.03-0.33).
conclusionIn this cross-sectional study of older adults, associations of glucose dysregulation with subclinical cardiac dysfunction were largely attenuated after adjusting for central adiposity.
