Lifetime Exposure to Violence and Early Cardiometabolic Risk Factors in a Healthy Swedish Cohort.
Article in Journal of the American Heart Association, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
backgroundViolence exposure has been associated with cardiovascular disease. Less is known about underlying mechanisms, including early cardiometabolic risk factors, and possible sex differences of such associations.
methodsWe used data from the Swedish LifeGene study on 23 215 men and women, aged 18 to 50 years. Participants answered the Life Stressor Checklist-Revised regarding physical and sexual violence alongside questions on medical diagnoses of hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, and smoking history in 2009 to 2016. At a clinical visit, blood pressure, body mass index, glycated hemoglobin, total cholesterol, apolipoprotein B/apolipoprotein A1 ratio, and hs-CRP (high-sensitivity C-reactive protein) were measured. Modified Poisson and linear regression were used to test the association between violence and cardiometabolic risk factors.
resultsAt mean age 33±8 years, lifetime exposure to violence was reported by 23% of women and 15% of men. Those exposed to violence reported higher prevalence of smoking (prevalence ratio [PR], 1.74 [95% CI, 1.56-1.94]) and diagnosis of hypertension (PR, 1.36 [95% CI, 1.15-1.60]) but not hyperlipidemia (PR, 1.06 [95% CI, 0.82-1.36]). Men and women exposed to violence had higher body mass index (Beta, 0.45 [95% CI, 0.39-0.63]) and hs-CRP (Beta, 0.08 [95% CI, 0.04-0.13]), after multivariable adjustment, whereas no differences were observed in glycated hemoglobin (B, 0.04 [95% CI, -0.11 to 0.18]) or total cholesterol (Beta, -0.01 [95% CI, -0.05 to 0.02]), and systolic blood pressure was marginally lower among individuals exposed to violence (B, -0.42 [95% CI, -0.78 to -0.06]).
conclusionsIn a young healthy Swedish sample, lifetime exposure to physical and/or sexual violence was associated with some but not all early cardiometabolic risk factors among both men and women.
