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

aimsTo investigate the association between metabolic health status, defined by the combination of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and obesity, and cardiovascular disease (CVD) in a Japanese community.

methodsA total of 2,842 participants without prior CVD, aged 40 years or older, were followed up from 2007 until 2017. Participants were classified into 4 metabolic health statuses based on the presence of obesity (body mass index ≥ 25 kg/m

resultsDuring the follow-up period, 190 participants developed CVD. The MUO group had a 1.94-times greater risk of developing CVD than the MHN group after adjusting for confounders, but no excess risk was observed in the MHO group. Moreover, in 1,595 participants who had undergone a health checkup in 2002, 5 years before baseline, the risk of developing CVD was 2.18-times greater in the group that transitioned from MHO to MUO and 1.75-times higher in the stable MUO group than in the stable MHN group, but was not higher in the stable MHO group.

conclusionsThe present findings suggest that cardiovascular risk increases when metabolic abnormalities are present simultaneously with obesity. In individuals with obesity, it may be important to maintain metabolic health and/or lose weight to prevent CVD.
