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 develop a cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk model using data from a large occupational cohort.

methodsA risk prediction model was developed using the routine health checkup data of 96,117 Japanese employees (84.0% men) who were 30-64 years of age and had no CVD at baseline. Cox proportional hazards regression models were employed to develop a risk model for assessing the 10-year CVD risk. Measures of discrimination and calibration were used to assess the predictive performance of the model and internal validation was used to examine potential overfitting.

resultsDuring a mean follow-up period of 6.7 years (range, 0.1-11.0 years), 422 cases of incident CVD were confirmed. The final model, which included predictor variables of age, smoking, diabetes, systolic blood pressure, and low- and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels, demonstrated a good predictive ability (Harrell's C-statistic, 0.796; 95% confidence interval, 0.775-0.817) with excellent calibration between observed and predicted values. Internal validation revealed minimal overfitting.

conclusionsThe developed model can accurately predict the 10-year CVD risk. Because it is based on routine health checkup data, the prediction model can be easily implemented in the workplace. Further studies are required to assess the external validity and transferability of the proposed CVD risk model.
