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

objectiveTo assess the extent to which the concomitant presence of subclinical myocardial injury or stress and diabetes affects the risk of heart failure (HF) subtypes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND

methodsThe Jackson Heart Study included Black adults, categorized based on diabetes status, high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I (hs-cTnI), and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels. Subclinical myocardial injury was defined as hs-cTnI ≥4 ng/L in women and ≥6 ng/L in men, and subclinical myocardial stress as BNP ≥35 pg/mL. The study outcomes included incident HF, HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), and HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF).

resultsAmong 3,484 participants (mean age 54.6 years, 63.2% women, 22.3% with diabetes, 26.4% with subclinical myocardial injury, 9.4% with subclinical myocardial stress), 306 developed HF (151 HFpEF and 139 HFrEF) over 12 years. Compared with individuals with no diabetes and no subclinical myocardial injury at recruitment, participants with diabetes and subclinical myocardial injury had a higher HF risk (hazard ratio [HR] 3.84, 95% CI 2.60-5.66), HFpEF (HR 3.68, 95% CI 2.13-6.36), and HFrEF (HR 4.26, 95% CI 2.40-7.53). The HRs associated with the presence of diabetes and subclinical myocardial stress versus their joint absence were 4.03 (95% CI 2.50-6.51), 5.71 (95% CI 3.11-10.47), and 2.13 (95% CI 0.88-5.17) for HF, HFpEF, and HFrEF, respectively. There was no significant diabetes status and cardiac biomarkers interaction.

conclusionsBoth diabetes and subclinical myocardial damage significantly increase the risk of all HF types among Black individuals.
