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

Background: The associations between birth weight (BW), cardiovascular health (CVH) as assessed by Life's Essential 8 (LE8) and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain unclear. We aimed to assess the independent and joint associations of BW and CVH with risks of CVDs. Methods: This study included 143,910 UK Biobank participants without CVD at baseline (2006-2010). BW was self-reported, and CVH was evaluated using the LE8 score. Cox models were employed to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for incident total CVD and nine cardiovascular conditions. Results: During a median 15.1-year follow-up, 24,071 CVD cases occurred. Compared with normal BW (2.5-4.0 kg), low BW was associated with increased risks of total CVD (adjusted HR [aHR]: 1.13, 95% CI [1.08 to 1.17], Conclusions: Low BW was associated with an increased risk of CVD, whereas high BW showed a neutral association. High CVH, as evaluated by LE8, was associated with a reduced incidence of CVD irrespective of BW.
