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

backgroundCardiometabolic diseases (CMD), including myocardial infarction, stroke, and type 2 diabetes, are leading causes of disability and mortality globally, particularly for people at an older age. The impact of adhering to the Life's Simple 7 (LS7) on the number of years an individual will live without CMD in older adults remains less studied.

methodsThis study included a cohort of 2662 British men aged 60-79 years free of CMD at baseline from the British Regional Heart Study (BRHS). Each LS7 factor (BMI, blood pressure, blood glucose, total cholesterol, smoking, physical activity, and diet) was categorized as poor, intermediate, or ideal, and a composite LS7 adherence was determined by summing the number of LS7 ideal levels achieved. Flexible parametric Royston-Parmar proportional-hazards model was applied to estimate CMD-free life expectancy.

resultsHere we show that compared to men with the lowest LS7 adherence [with 18.42 years (95% CI: 16.93, 19.90) of CMD-free life at age 60], men having an ideal LS7 adherence are estimated to gain an additional 4.37 years (95% CI: 2.95, 5.79) of CMD-free life. The CMD-free life gain benefits are consistent across social class groups of manual and non-manual workers. Among LS7 factors, achieving an ideal physical activity provides the largest CMD-free survival benefit: 4.84 years (95% CI: 3.37, 6.32) of additional CMD-free life compared with the physically inactive group.

conclusionsOur study quantifies and highlights the benefits of adhering to the LS7 ideal levels for living a longer life without CMD in older adults.
