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

backgroundThe burden of obesity may be compounded by disparities in the quality of cardiovascular care across racial and ethnic groups. We aimed to examine racial and ethnic differences in the control of risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) among adults with obesity.

methodsWe included nonpregnant US adults with obesity aged ≥20 years who participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Participants from a total of 11 survey cycles between 1999-2000 and 2021-2023 were included. Primary outcome was racial and ethnic differences in controlling all risk factors for CVD (including glycemic, blood pressure and lipid control) among participants, where the risk factor targets were glycated hemoglobin <7.0%, systolic and diastolic blood pressure <140/90 mmHg, and non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol <3.4 mmol/L, respectively. Multivariable logistic regression models were used for analyses.

resultsA total of 21,982 participants with obesity (mean age: 48.4 years, body mass index: 36.0 kg/m

conclusionsAcross racial and ethnic groups, the majority of participants with obesity were young adults, women, and those in low education. While temporal improvement was found in all groups, racial and ethnic differences in the control of CVD risk factors in adults with obesity still remained. Efforts are required to further explore and confirm these results to help reduce the obesity and CVD burden.
