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

backgroundElevated homocysteine (Hcy) levels have been linked to cardiovascular disease (CVD), but their association with cardiometabolic multimorbidity (CMM) remains uncertain.

methodsData from the baseline survey of the China Northwest Cohort-Ningxia Project (CNC-NX) were used to recruit 22,566 participants. Demographic characteristics, lifestyle factors, and laboratory exam results were collected. Logistic regression was used to evaluate the association between Hcy levels and CMM risk. Restricted cubic splines (RCS) explored potential non-linear relationships, and subgroup analyses assessed the consistency of the association across distinct groups. Sensitivity analysis accounted for cluster variability.

resultsThe final analysis included 18,126 participants. Higher Hcy levels were significantly associated with an increased risk of CMM (adjusted OR = 1.005, P = 0.003), with a linear relationship confirmed by RCS analysis (P for non-linearity = 0.142). There was a stronger association between Hcy-CMM in high-risk people, including elderly, males, and those with high BMI (P < 0.05). No significant association was observed between Hcy levels and more severe types of CMM.

conclusionsElevated Hcy levels are correlated with an increased risk of CMM, warranting further investigation into the underlying mechanisms and potential interventions. Given the individual differences in the Hcy-CMM relationship, targeted comprehensive interventions for high-risk groups are necessary to reduce the risk of CMM.
