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

backgroundEstimated glucose disposal rate (eGDR) is considered as a reliable alternative indicator of insulin resistance. However, the relationship between eGDR levels and mortality among individuals with cardiometabolic syndrome (CMS), as well as within different glucose metabolic states in this population, remains unclear.

methodsWe conducted a cohort study on 9928 CMS participants from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database from 1999 to 2018. The relationship between eGDR levels and mortality in the CMS population was evaluated using multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression models and restricted cubic splines (RCS). Finally, stratified analysis was performed to determine the relationship between eGDR levels and mortality in different subgroups.

resultsCox regression analysis showed a significant correlation between eGDR levels and both all-cause and cause-specific mortality in the entire CMS population (all p < 0.05). RCS analysis revealed a non-linear relationship between eGDR levels and both all-cause (p for overall < 0.001, p for non-linear < 0.001) and diabetes specific mortality (p for overall < 0.001, p for non-linear = 0.004) in CMS population, while a linear relationship with cardiovascular specific mortality (p for overall < 0.001, p for non-linear = 0.091). In participants with baseline diabetes mellitus (DM), eGDR levels were significantly correlated with all-cause mortality, cardiovascular specific mortality, and diabetes specific mortality (all p < 0.05). In CMS participants with baseline pre-diabetes mellitus (Pre-DM), eGDR levels were significantly correlated with cardiovascular-specific and diabetes-specific mortality (all p < 0.05). In CMS participants with baseline normal glucose regulation (NGR), eGDR levels were only significantly related to diabetes specific mortality (p < 0.05).

conclusionThere is a significant correlation between eGDR levels and both all-cause and cause-specific mortality in the entire CMS population. Furthermore, the protective effect of high eGDR levels on mortality persists across various glucose metabolic states.
