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

objectiveThe prevalence of prediabetes among adults in the U.S. is three times higher than that of diabetes, highlighting a greater disease burden. Both diabetes and prediabetes have been demonstrated to be associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, research has primarily focused on diabetes, with limited attention to CVD risk prediction in prediabetes. Emerging 13 metabolic health-related indicators have been proposed to optimize the predictive effect on CVD risk in patients with prediabetes. This study aimed to compare the predictive efficacy of these biomarkers and further develop a nomogram to improve predictive performance of the CVD risk in patients with prediabetes.

methodsAll eligible participants in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 1999-2020 were enrolled in this study and randomly assigned to the development and validation cohorts in a ratio of 7:3. In the development cohort, the efficacy of 13 indicators used to predict the CVD risk was assessed by receiver operative characteristic (ROC) curves. Independent risk predictors identified by multivariate logistic regression were used to construct a nomogram, and internal and external validation were further implemented.

resultsThe ROC curve demonstrated that the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index was an effective predictor of CVD risk [area under the curve (AUC) = 0.694] and exhibited the best predictive performance among the 13 metabolic health-related indices. Based on independent risk factors identified by multivariate logistic regression, the CVD risk nomogram [including age, gender, hypertension, TyG, stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR), and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR)] was successfully constructed and validated with good performance (AUCs/C-indexes > 0.70 for all).

conclusionThis study developed a reliable nomogram for predicting CVD risk in patients with prediabetes. The model demonstrated robust performance and offered a simple yet individualized approach for predicting the CVD risk in patients with prediabetes.
