Prevalence of ideal cardiovascular health and its relationship with relative handgrip strength in rural northeast China.
Article in Frontiers in cardiovascular medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Objectives: We aimed to investigate ideal cardiovascular health (CVH), its relationship with handgrip strength, and its components in rural China. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study of 3,203 rural Chinese individuals aged ≥35 years in Liaoning Province, China. Of these, 2,088 participants completed the follow-up survey. Handgrip strength was estimated using a handheld dynamometer and was normalized to body mass. Ideal CVH was assessed using seven health indicators (smoking, body mass index, physical activity, diet, cholesterol, blood pressure, and glucose). Binary logistic regression analyses were performed to assess the correlation between handgrip strength and ideal CVH. Results: Women had a higher rate of ideal cardiovascular health (CVH) than men (15.7% vs. 6.8%, Conclusion: In rural China, the ideal CVH rate was low, and positively correlated with handgrip strength. Grip strength can be a rough predictor of ideal CVH and can be used to provide guidelines for improving CVH in rural China.
