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

Background: Whether middle-aged individuals with a greater difference between chronological age and vascular age show a lower cardiovascular disease risk remains to be clarified. Objectives: This study sought to examine whether individuals with supernormal vascular aging (VA) have a lower cardiovascular disease risk than do individuals with normal VA. Methods: This prospective cohort study included 20,917 middle-aged (40-60 years) participants from the Kailuan Study. VA was defined as the predicted age in a multivariate regression model, including classic cardiovascular risk factors and pulsed wave velocity. The chronological age minus the VA was defined as the Δ-age, and the 10th and 90th percentiles of the Δ-age were used as cutoffs to define early VA and supernormal VA, respectively. The outcome was a composite of myocardial infarction, hospital admission for heart failure, and stroke. The study used Cox proportional hazards regression to examine the association between the VA categories and the incident cardiovascular outcome. Results: During the median 4.6-year follow-up period, 584 endpoint events were observed. After adjusting for potential variables, when compared with the normal VA group, the supernormal VA group had a decreased rate of cardiovascular events (HR: 0.47; 95% CI: 0.35-0.64), and the early VA group had an increased rate (HR: 1.90; 95% CI: 1.22-2.95) of cardiovascular events. Conclusions: Individuals with supernormal VA are at a lower risk of cardiovascular events, and individuals with early VA are at a higher risk of cardiovascular events than individuals with normal VA. Further characterization may provide novel insight into future preventive strategies against cardiovascular disease.
