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

backgroundPathological albuminuria (PAU) (urinary albumin creatinine ratio [UACR] ≥30 mg/g) is an independent risk factor of cardiovascular disease. PAU is more prevalent in men than women. We aimed to compare the association of PAU and the early phase of subclinical atherosclerosis (SA) between sexes.

methods1228 subjects aged 50-90 years were stratified by sex and UACR (normal or PAU). SA was defined as mean carotid intima-media thickness ≥75th percentile of the cohort. Demographics and SA prevalence were compared between groups. Multivariate logistic regression was performed to assess the relationship between PAU and SA.

resultsBoth men and women with PAU had increased prevalence of hypertension, anti-hypertensive therapy, and metabolic syndrome than controls. Men with PAU were older and had greater waist circumference and total body fat percentage. Sex disparity was observed in associations between waist-to-height ratio, total body fat, and UACR. After adjusting for traditional risk factors, multivariate logistic regression disclosed that PAU was independently associated with SA in men (adjusted odds ratio 1.867, 95% CI 1.066-3.210) but not in women.

conclusionThe relationship of PAU and SA differed between sexes. This result may highlight the need for sex-specific risk management strategies to prevent atherosclerosis.
