Association between Life's simple 7 and rheumatoid arthritis in adult Americans: data from the National Health and nutrition examination survey.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2023. 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
Objective: The study aimed to investigate the relationship between Life's Simple 7 (LS7) and the risk of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in adult Americans. Methods: A total of 17,532 participants were included in this study. The association between LS7 and the risk of RA was assessed using a weighted logistic regression model, with odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) calculated. Moreover, the nonlinear relationship was further characterized through smooth curve fitting (SCF) and weighted generalized additive model (GAM) analysis. Results: After adjusting for all covariates, the weighted logistic regression model demonstrated that the LS7 was negatively correlated with the risk of RA. Compared to quintile 1 of LS7, the OR between the risk of RA and quartile 4 of LS7 (LS7.Q4) was 0.261 (95% CI, 0.203, 0.337) in males under 50 years old, while in females of the same age group, the OR was 0.183 (95% CI, 0.142, 0.234). For females aged between 50 and 70 years old, the OR between the risk of RA and LS7.Q4 was 0.313 (95% CI, 0.264, 0.371). In females aged 70 years or older, the OR between the risk of RA and LS7.Q4 was 0.632 (95% CI, 0.486, 0.822). Conclusion: This finding suggested the healthy lifestyle behaviors represented by LS7 have a negative association with RA. However, further prospective studies are needed to verify the causal relationship in the results.
