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

backgroundTo evaluate the associations of three atherosclerosis indexes with stroke in a population aged 65 years and older.

methodsA sample was obtained from wave 2011 to wave 2015 of the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study. Multivariate logistic regression models were used to estimate odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for stroke in the quartiles of three atherosclerosis indexes, and restricted cubic splines were constructed.

resultsFour hundred and fifty-four of the 21,913 eligible participants had stroke. After multivariate adjustments and with respect to the lowest quartiles, the ORs (95% CIs) of stroke in the highest quartiles of the atherogenic index of plasma (AIP), the Castelli risk index I (CRI-I), and the Castelli risk index II (CRI-II) were 1.35 (0.99-1.83), 1.52 (1.13-2.06), and 1.40 (1.05-1.86), respectively. When assessed as a continuous exposure, per-unit increases in the AIP, CRI-I, and CRI-II were independently associated with a 49% (OR: 1.49, 95% CI: 1.07-2.08), 6% (OR: 1.06, 95% CI: 1.02-1.11), and 14% (OR: 1.14, 95% CI: 1.03-1.27) increase in the risk of stroke, respectively.

conclusionThe three atherosclerosis indexes studied-the AIP, CRI-I, and CRI-II-were found to be predictors of stroke in a Chinese population.
