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

Background: Dysfunction of multiple systems significantly contributes to cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic syndrome (CKM). We aimed to use routine indicators to predict progression to CKM and to examine the influence of the liver metabolic axis on CKM progression. Methods: This study was a multicenter retrospective study. We developed a model using new lipid-metabolism indicators to predict progression to CKM. Model performance was evaluated using discrimination, calibration, and decision curve analysis (DCA). Further studies on patients with diabetes and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) explored the link to CKM progression. Results: A total of 21,026 participants with CKM stages 1 or 2 at baseline. The model demonstrated robust discrimination, with AUCs of 0.718 (95% CI 0.704-0.730) in the 2016-2019 cohort, 0.727 (95% CI 0.714-0.740) in the 2020 cohort, and 0.747 (95% CI 0.711-0.777) in the 2021 validation cohort. The predicted-risk quartiles were 1.8, 7.6, 11.4, and 24.9%, respectively. Subgroup analyses confirmed stable discrimination across clinical subgroups and different centers. Exploratory analyses revealed that individuals with diabetes and MASLD had the highest risk of CKM progression (odds ratio [OR] 2.13, 95% CI 1.89-2.40). Conclusion: We developed a reliable model that identifies individuals at risk of progressing to CKM in the real world. Our results also suggest the liver metabolism axis may be crucial in CKM deterioration.
