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

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between plasma homocysteine (Hcy) levels and cardiovascular disease (CVD) in United States adults based on the National Health and Examination Survey (NHANES) database of the United States. Methods: Data from two survey periods (2003-2006) in the NHANES database were used as the research data set. Plasma Hcy levels are considered an independent variable, while CVD is a dependent variable. Weighted logistic regression, linear trend analysis, subgroup analysis and limiting cubic spline plots were used for analysis. A total of 4,418 samples were included. Results: In the weighted logistic regression model, a significant positive correlation between Hcy level and CVD risk was observed ( Conclusion: In this large cross-sectional study, an increase in Hcy levels leads to an increased risk of CVD. There is a nonlinearly positive correlation between Hcy levels and the risk of CVD.
