Socioeconomic inequality and modifiable cardiovascular risk factor clusters among consulters with and without osteoarthritis in England.
Article in BMC public health, 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
backgroundThe study aims to investigate the socioeconomic inequalities in the prevalence of clustering of modifiable cardiovascular risk factors (MCRFs) among English individuals with and without osteoarthritis (OA), and examines the temporal trends of these inequalities from 1992 to 2017.
methodsThe study included 109,142 incident cases of OA aged ≥ 35 years and 1:1 age-, sex-, practice- and index year- matched non-OA individuals from the Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD) GOLD with linkage to the English Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) 2015. We estimated the slope index of inequality (SII) and relative index of inequality (RII) for the period prevalence of clustering of MCVRFs (≥ 1, ≥ 2, ≥3).
resultsA significant association was observed between socioeconomic deprivation and a higher period prevalence of clustering of MCRFs (≥ 1, ≥ 2, ≥3) in individuals with OA between 1992 and 2017. The SII and RII values indicated greater socioeconomic disparities among OA patients compared to non-OA counterparts. These disparities were consistent across genders but varied by age group.
conclusionsSocioeconomic deprivation is linked to a higher prevalence of clustering of multiple MCRFs in people with OA, with this association being more pronounced than in those without OA. Addressing socioeconomic inequality should be integral in cardiovascular disease prevention strategies for the OA population.
