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

aimsThis study aimed to explore the correlation between homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance(HOMA-IR)and cardiometabolic risk index(CMRI) among different metabolic adults to evaluate the value of HOMA-IR in predicting cardiometabolic risk.

methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted over 18 months (from August 1, 2020 to February 18, 2022) and included 1550 participants divided into non-metabolic syndrome (non-MetS) group (n = 628) and metabolic syndrome (MetS) group (n = 922) in three centers of China. Logistic regression analysis was employed to investigate the correlation between HOMA-IR, body fat percentage, BMI (body mass index), visceral fat index, waist-to-hip ratio, vitamin D, and CMRI. Further analysis was conducted to evaluate the ability of HOMA-IR in diagnosing high CMRI within different metabolic, gender, and age groups to predict the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD).

resultsHOMA-IR was significantly higher in the MetS group compared with the non-MetS group (P < 0.05). CMRI was significantly higher in the MetS group compared to the non-MetS group (P < 0.05). According to ROC curve analysis, HOMA-IR can predict cardiovascular risk (CVR) in the general population, non-MetS individuals, and MetS people. Logistic regression analysis revealed that BMI, visceral fat index, waist-to-hip ratio, and HOMA-IR are independent risk indicators of high CVR, whereas vitamin D may exert a protective role.

conclusionsHOMA-IR was an independent risk factor for increased CVR in MetS patients. Moreover, HOMA-IR elevates the risk of CVD regardless of MetS and thus can be used for screening the general population.

trial registrationThe study was registered at the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (Registration Number: ChiCTR2100054654).
