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

Context: Multimorbidity (MM), defined as the presence of two or more chronic health conditions in an individual, can be more burdensome than single chronic disease. Aims: To estimate the prevalence of MM and determine its drivers among middle-aged and older adults in a city of North India. Materials and Methods: A community-based, cross-sectional study was conducted in semiurban and rural areas of Aligarh in Uttar Pradesh, India, among 420 adults aged ≥45 years using simple random sampling. Sociodemographic, dietary, anthropometry, clinical information, and diagnosed diseases were collected. Descriptive statistics, Chi-square test, and logistic regression analysis were done using IBM SPSS V.20.0. Results: We found the prevalence of MM was 40.2% ( Conclusions: With four out of ten adults having MM, its burden is high, especially in semiurban areas. Targeted interventions to reduce physical inactivity, obesity, and tobacco consumption and to increase dietary diversity are recommended.
