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

objectiveCardiovascular diseases as the leading cause of death and disability are increasing worldwide. The present study aimed to investigate the association between total body water, total fat percent, and trunk fat percent with electrocardiogram (ECG) parameters in the Persian Fasa Adult Cohort Study (FACS).

methodsThis cross-sectional study was performed on the baseline information obtained from 3217 35-70-year-old participants of the FACS, southern Iran. Various ECG and body composition parameters were obtained from the FACS baseline database. Independent t-test, Chi-square test and linear regression were used for data analysis.

resultsTotal body water (TBW) was positively associated with QRS length in men and women, and with PD and PR interval in women, exclusively. Additionally, in participants without chronic diseases (healthy group), TBW was shown to be positively associated with QRS length and PD; however, it was associated with QRS length and S wave in V3 lead (S

conclusionBody fat percentage and fat distribution may affect ECG parameters, and subsequently associated with cardiovascular diseases, such as arrhythmias. Thus, these indicators may carry the potential for screening high-risk individuals.
