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: The incidence of arteriosclerosis is steadily increasing, and arteriosclerosis is closely associated with cardiovascular diseases. The objective of this research was to create and verify a tool for forecasting arteriosclerosis in middle-aged and elderly individuals within the community. Methods: A cohort study was conducted in multiple communities, and 4107 participants over 40 years of age were enrolled. The participants were randomly divided into a derivation cohort ( Results: Over an average follow-up period of 3.25 ± 1.14 years, 1688 subjects (41.0%) were diagnosed with arteriosclerosis. Independent risk factors for arteriosclerosis included age, BMI, hypertension, triglyceride levels, glycosylated hemoglobin, sex, and fasting blood glucose. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for the derivation and validation cohorts was 0.811 (95% CI: 0.795-0.827) and 0.816 (95% CI: 0.796-0.830), respectively. The Hosmer-Lemeshow test showed good model accuracy ( Conclusion: The predictive model established in this study holds promise for identifying arteriosclerosis in middle-aged and elderly individuals. Understanding the related risk factors and individualized prediction may assist physicians in early detection and intervention, ultimately improving patient prognosis.
