Association between Social Isolation and Loneliness with Estimated Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease Risk in a UK Biobank Population-Based Study.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
objectiveThe association of cardiovascular (CV) risk with social isolation and loneliness remains poorly studied. The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to investigate the associations between social isolation and loneliness with estimated 10-year atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk.
methodsAmong 302,553 volunteers of the UK Biobank population, social isolation and loneliness were assessed with a questionnaire. Associations between social isolation and loneliness with ASCVD risk were estimated using multiple gender regressions.
resultsMen presented a higher estimated 10-year ASCVD risk (8.63% vs. 2.65%,
conclusionSocial isolation was associated with a higher estimated 10-year ASCVD risk in both genders but only loneliness among men. Social isolation and loneliness can be considered potential added risk factors for CV risk. Health policies should address these notions in prevention campaigns, in addition to traditional risk factors.
