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: This study aimed to uncover socioeconomic variations in the prevalence and patterns of noncommunicable disease (NCD) multimorbidity including seven common chronic conditions, and to investigate its association with depression symptoms. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted including 7509 adults aged ≥35 years in rural Yunnan Province, China from 2023 to 2024. Association rule mining was used to identify the NCD multimorbidity patterns of seven common chronic conditions. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was employed to examine the relationship between NCD multimorbidity and depression symptoms. Results: The prevalence of NCD multimorbidity was 18.8 %. NCD multimorbidity was more prevalent among participants with lower education, lower annual household income, and better access to medical care ( Conclusions: There are socioeconomic disparities in prevalence and patterns of NCD multimorbidity across rural southwest China. NCD multimorbidity was positively associated with depressive symptoms. Future measures to prevention NCD multimorbidity should be strengthened and targeted at lower socioeconomic populations, with greater focus on managing depression in NCD multimorbid patients.
