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

Population aging generated changes in the epidemiological profile and culminated in a high frequency of diseases. The objective of this study was estimating the prevalence of multimorbidity and the associated variables in the elderly of an educational program in the Federal District of Brazil. This is a cross-sectional study with data collection carried out during the period from December 2022 to April 2023 by means of telephone calls. Multimorbidity was defined as a concomitant presence of 2 or more noncommunicable chronic diseases. One-hundred fifty individuals aged between 60 and 82 years old participated in the study. The median number of self-reported diseases was 2, ranging from 0 to 9. The estimated prevalence of multimorbidity was 69.3%, being higher among elderly individuals self-reporting their health as regular or bad/or very bad, having systemic arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidaemia, hypothyroidism, overweight/obesity, and depression, including polypharmacy (P < .05). The high rate of multimorbidity and associated variables shows the importance of an integrated approach on health services focused on promoting health and preventing health impairment to favor the quality of life during aging.
