Association between dual sensory impairments and new-onset cardiovascular disease among American middle-aged and older adults: the mediating role of depression.

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
Objective: This study aimed to explore the association between dual sensory impairment (DSI) and incident cardiovascular disease (CVD), and to evaluate the potential mediating role of depression in this relationship. Methods: The data were sourced from 2017/2018 (Wave 14) to 2021/2022 (Wave 16) of the University of Michigan Health and Retirement Study (HRS) of the American aged 50 and above. A counterfactual-based causal mediation framework was employed to evaluate the mediating role of continuous depression scores in the association between DSI and new-onset CVD. Results: A total of 7582 participants were included, the incidence density of CVD is 23.67/1000 person-years. Compared with the people without VI (vision impairment) and HI (hearing impairment), those with DSI were associated with a significantly higher risk of CVD ( Conclusion: DSI was associated with a higher risk of CVD among middle-aged and older adults. The association was partially mediated by depression.
