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

backgroundChina has a large population, and the prevalence of dyslipidemia varies across regions. The prevalence of dyslipidemia is closely associated with the increasing burden of cardiovascular disease. Currently, there is a lack of high-quality data on early-onset dyslipidemia in Northwest China. This study aims to comprehensively assess the prevalence and risk factors of early-onset dyslipidemia among adults in this region, providing epidemiological evidence for disease prevention and health promotion.

methodsThis is a cross-sectional study based on the universal health check-up program conducted in northwestern China from January to December 2019. Adults (aged 18 to 65 years old) living in both rural and urban areas were included. Participants received a questionnaire survey, physical examination, and laboratory tests, including liver and kidney function, complete blood count, fasting blood glucose, and lipid profile.

resultThis study included a total of 3,559,141 participants (43.2% male and 56.8% female). The prevalence of early-onset dyslipidemia was 25.7%, with hypercholesterolemia accounting for 3.6%, hypertriglyceridemia for 10.6%, elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol for 2.7%, and reduced high-density lipoprotein cholesterol for 14.5%. Abnormalities in a single lipid parameter were observed in 20.5% of participants, while abnormalities in two, three, and four lipid parameters were observed in 4.6%, 0.6%, and 0.1% of participants, respectively. Male sex, age, diabetes, hypertension, smoking, alcohol consumption, and overweight/obesity were all significant risk factors for early-onset dyslipidemia.

conclusionThe age-standardized prevalence of early-onset dyslipidemia and its subtypes in Northwest China remains lower than the national level. Existing evidence consistently indicates that males, advancing age, diabetes, hypertension, smoking, alcohol consumption, and overweight/obesity are independent risk factors for early-onset dyslipidemia. Therefore, systematic screening should be initiated for this population (< 40 years old), with stratified management involving enhanced lifestyle interventions combined with evidence-based lipid-lowering medications.
