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
Background: The association between the modified cardiometabolic index (MCMI) and the risk of incident stroke across patients with different glycemic statuses remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between baseline MCMI levels and incident stroke in Chinese middle-aged and older adults with varying glucose metabolism states. Methods: Data were obtained from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) conducted in 2011, 2013, 2015, and 2018. Kaplan-Meier curves, multivariable Cox proportional hazards models, and restricted cubic spline analyses were employed to assess the relationship between the MCMI and stroke risk stratified by glycemic status. Subgroup and sensitivity analyses were performed to confirm the robustness of the findings. Results: A total of 7455 participants were included. A total of 457 individuals (6.13%) experienced stroke events during a median follow-up of 7 years. A significant linear association was observed between a higher MCMI and increased stroke risk. A nonlinear relationship was detected among participants with normal glucose regulation (NGR), with a sharp increase in risk beyond an MCMI threshold of 1.904 (hazard ratio (HR) = 1.85; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.24-2.76; Conclusion: An elevated MCMI is positively associated with incident stroke, particularly in individuals with NGR or prediabetes. Early identification of a high MCMI may be valuable for stroke prevention, risk stratification, and timely intervention in community populations.
