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

Previous literatures revealed that homeostasis model assessment-estimated insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) was one of the cardio-metabolic risk factors. This study was conducted to access the association between HOMA-IR and frailty in the United States of America (U.S.) middle-aged and elderly high-risk insulin-resistant population. In the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III) from 1988 to 1994, the study included 3,893 participants. In order to exam the association between HOMA-IR and frailty in the middle-aged and elderly population through the regression model adjusted for multiple covariates, we divided the participants into middle aged group (Age <65 years) and elderly group (Age > = 65 years) in this study. Each group was then divided into tertiles depending on their HOMA-IR levels. Higher level of HOMA-IR was significantly associated with frailty in the elderly group, but this association was not seen in the middle-aged population. These results demonstrated that the HOMA-IR level can be a novel risk assessment of frailty in elderly high-risk insulin-resistant individuals (Age > = 65 years).
