Association of anemia with all-cause mortality in Chinese centenarians: a prospective cohort study.
Article in The journal of nutrition, health & aging, 2024. 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
objectivesThis study aimed to examine the relationship between anemia and all-cause mortality in Chinese centenarians.
designProspective cohort study. SETTING AND
participantsWe included 1002 Chinese centenarians from the China Hainan Centenarian Cohort Study (CHCCS) MEASUREMENTS: Standard procedures were followed to perform blood analysis, home interviews, and physical examinations. Anemia was defined as a hemoglobin level of less than 130 g/L for men and less than 120 g/L for women.
resultsDuring the 9-year follow-up period, a total of 929 (92.7%) deaths were identified. Cox proportional hazards regression models revealed that anemia (hazard ratio [HR] 1.289, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.117-1.489) was significantly associated with all-cause mortality. There was an apparent dose-response relationship between anemia and all-cause mortality. Centenarians with severe anemia had approximately 1.6 times higher likelihood of all-cause mortality than those without anemia (HR 1.662; 95% CI: 1.154-2.394).
conclusionAnemia is associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality in Chinese centenarians. Further research will be needed to collect more comprehensive data on the etiology of anemia and causes of death in centenarians.
