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

purposeThe role of partners on an individual's cardiometabolic risk status in same-sex relationships is underexplored to date, despite significant health disparities impacting sexual minority individuals. This study investigated cardiometabolic risk concordance in same-sex older adult couples in the United States.

methodsWe conducted a pooled analysis of seven study waves of the University of Michigan Health and Retirement Survey (2006-2019) and estimated concordance of hypertension and overweight/obesity among same-sex couples.

resultsAmong 81 same-sex couples, we observed high concordance of hypertension and overweight/obesity among sexual minority male couples (39 couples, hypertension: 72.4 %, overweight/obesity: 64.2 %) and sexual minority female couples (42 couples, hypertension: 61.0 %, overweight/obesity: 35.6 %).

conclusionsOur findings signify a need for longitudinal studies among same-sex couples to better characterize mechanisms of influence on partners' cardiometabolic health, as well as a potential role for couple-level interventions targeting cardiometabolic risk.
