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

backgroundType 2 diabetes (T2D) is a major risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). This study examined the interplay between watching television and T2D genetic risk for risk of ASCVD.

methodsWe included 346 916 White British individuals from UK Biobank. A weighted polygenic risk score for T2D was calculated on the basis of 138 genetic variants associated with T2D. Time spent watching television was self-reported and categorized into 2 groups: ≤1 h/d and ≥2 h/d. Over a median 13.8-year follow-up, 21 265 incident ASCVD events were identified. Models using Cox regression with age as the underlying time scale adjusted for potential confounders (demographic, anthropometric, lifestyle factors, and medication use) were fit.

resultsCompared with watching television for ≤1 h/d, watching ≥2 h/d was associated with 12% (95% CI, 1.07-1.16) higher hazards of ASCVD, independently of T2D genetic risk. Joint analyses (with low T2D genetic risk and ≤1 h/d of television viewing as reference) indicated that medium and high T2D genetic risk was not associated with higher hazards of ASCVD as long as television viewing was ≤1 h/d. The

conclusionsFuture clinical trials of lifestyle-modification interventions targeting specific types of screen-based sedentary activities could be implemented to individuals at high genetic risk of T2D for primary prevention of ASCVD.
