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

Objective: Patients with polycythemia have a high risk of thrombo-atherosclerotic diseases. However, it remains to be clarified whether a high blood hemoglobin level is related to cardiometabolic risk in women. Methods: The overall subjects were 18,410 middle-aged women who had received health checkup examinations at their workplaces. The subjects were divided into four groups of quartiles for hemoglobin levels. Cardiometabolic risk factors were compared in the four quartile groups. Individuals showing abnormally low hemoglobin levels (less than 11.0 g/dL) and/or having a history of therapy for anemia ( Results: The prevalence of polycythemia (hemoglobin: higher than 16.0 g/dL) was 0.14%. Body mass index, waist-to-height ratio, blood pressure, triglycerides, LDL cholesterol, and hemoglobin A Conclusions: Although the prevalence of polycythemia was very low, cardiometabolic risk was higher in those showing relatively high hemoglobin levels than in those with lower levels. Therefore, normal high blood hemoglobin is suggestive of increased cardiovascular risk in middle-aged women.
