Lifestyle scores and their potential to estimate the risk of multiple non-communicable disease-related endpoints: a systematic review.
Synthesis in BMC public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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
backgroundLifestyle scores have emerged as a practical tool to assess the risk of major non-communicable diseases (NCDs). However, most of them are primarily developed for single NCDs. Given the common risk factors for some of the major NCDs, we conducted a systematic review to evaluate the potential of existing lifestyle scores in predicting the risk of multiple NCD-related endpoints.
methodsPubMed, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, Embase, and Google Scholar were searched from inception to October 2024. We included observational studies assessing the association between lifestyle scores and the risk of morbidity or mortality of multiple NCDs, including type 2 diabetes (T2D), cardiovascular disease (CVD), and cancer.
resultsOf 16,138 unique records identified by the search, 56 eligible studies were included in the systematic review, consisting of 48 cohort studies, 5 case-control studies, 2 case-cohort studies, and 1 cross-sectional study from 16 countries. 15 lifestyle scores were identified to estimate the risk of 32 NCDs, with HLI
conclusionAll 15 simple lifestyle scores were shown to estimate the risk of multiple NCDs endpoints, although some scores were originally developed to estimate the risk of single diseases only. Therefore, further research is required to identify which lifestyle score is most effective for assessing the risk of multiple NCD-related endpoints in a head-to-head comparison.
