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

backgroudThe association between the atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) and stroke risk is uncertain. Overweight and obese individuals frequently develop atherosclerosis, suggesting AIP may mediate the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and stroke risk. This study investigates whether AIP mediates the BMI-stroke association and evaluates the interaction effects of AIP and BMI on stroke risk in middle-aged and older Chinese adults.

methodThis study analyzes data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS), an ongoing nationally representative prospective cohort study that began in 2011. It includes 8 598 middle-aged and older Chinese adults without stroke at baseline. A mediation analysis, employing a novel two-stage regression method, was conducted to evaluate the indirect effect of BMI on stroke through AIP.

resultsDuring a median follow-up of 7.1 years, 615 (7.2%) participants developed a stroke. After adjusting for confounders, AIP was significantly associated with stroke risk (hazard ratio [HR] per 1-SD increase, 1.24; 95% CI 1.14-1.35). Mediation analysis indicated that compared to normal weight, obesity similarly raised stroke risk by 78.0% (HR 1.78, 95% CI 1.40-2.27), with 29.67% (95% CI 14.27-45.08%) of the association mediated through AIP (HR 1.15, 95% CI 1.08-1.23). No significant multiplicative or additive interactions were observed between BMI and AIP on stroke.

conclusionsThis study found that the AIP appeared to be associated with stroke risk and mediates the association between obesity and stroke among middle-aged and older Chinese adults.
