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.

Abstract

Background: Effective weight reduction interventions may significantly reduce obesity-related atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk. However, evidence on the association between optimal body mass index (BMI) target and long-term ASCVD risk was limited. Methods: Pooled individual-level data from participants with obesity/overweight randomized to tirzepatide or placebo in SURMOUNT-1 (December 2019-April 2022; NCT04184622), -3 (March 2021-April 2023; NCT04657016), and -CN trials (September 2021-December 2022; NCT05024032) were analyzed. Ten-year ASCVD risk was calculated using the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association Pooled Cohort Equations. A mixed model for repeated measures analysis was used to compare percent change in ASCVD risk from baseline by achieved BMI group (<25 kg/m Findings: Among 2691 participants included, 495 (18.4%) achieved BMI <25 kg/m Interpretation: Achieving BMI <25 kg/m Funding: This study was funded by Eli Lilly and Company.
