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

Objectives: This study aims to investigate the status of the NCD syndemic among individuals over 25 in all provinces of Iran. Methods: This study was based on a national survey. Using a systematic cluster random sampling framework, 26,707 participants were selected from all 31 Iranian provinces. The data were analyzed for descriptive statistics by gender and age, followed by principal component analysis and logistic regression, using R software for the statistical analysis. Results: There was an interaction between diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular diseases, in their association with healthy life lost due to disability in the Iranian adult population. Additionally, there was a clustering of diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular diseases, partly due to the shared specific causes such as obesity, hypertension, shared baseline features, and poverty. Conclusions: The syndemic analysis showed that social inequalities in diabetes and cardiovascular disease arise not only from exposure levels but also from varying vulnerabilities and disease outcomes. Iran's health policy should prioritize reducing these health inequalities.
