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: Household chemicals are common indoor exposures among older adults, but their association with cardiovascular disease (CVD) and whether the association varies according to body weight status remains unclear. Methods: Data were drawn from the 2018 Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey. The final analysis included 12,123 adults aged 65 years or older. Reported household chemical product use frequency was classified as low or high based on the median score of eight household chemical products. Overweight/obesity was defined as BMI ≥ 24.0 kg/m Results: High-frequency household chemical product use was associated with higher odds of CVD after full adjustment (OR = 1.34, 95% CI: 1.22, 1.48, Conclusion: Reported household chemical product use and overweight/obesity were each associated with higher odds of CVD among older adults. The combined presence of high-frequency household chemical product use and overweight/obesity was associated with the greatest odds of CVD, suggesting a potential joint contribution of environmental exposure and metabolic status to cardiovascular health.
