1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Objective: Heavy metals are present in many environmental pollutants, and have cumulative effects on the human body through water or food, which can lead to several diseases, including osteoarthritis (OA). In this research, we aimed to explore the association between heavy metals and OA. Methods: We extracted 18 variables including age, gender, race, education level, marital status, smoking status, body mass index (BMI), physical activity, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, poverty level index (PLI), Lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg), selenium (Se), manganese (Mn), and OA status from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2011-2020 datasets. Results: In the baseline data, the Conclusion: The overall and gender subgroup logistic regressions all showed that Pb and Cd promoted the prevalence of OA while Mn could be a protective factor of OA prevalence among the elderly population of the United States. Furthermore, XGBoost model was trained for OA prediction.
