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

backgroundDespite known sex-based differences in cardiovascular aging, differences in aging biology are poorly understood. We hypothesize that circulating metabolites studied cross-sectionally with cardiac aging may be associated with cardiovascular changes that distinguish cardiac aging in women.

methodsA population-based cohort of community men and women without cardiovascular disease from Singapore underwent detailed clinical and echocardiography examinations. Cross-sectional associations between cardiac functional characteristics and metabolomics profiles were examined.

resultsFive hundred sixty-seven adults (48.9% women) participated. Women were younger (72 ± 4.4 years vs 73 ± 4.3 years, p = 0.022), had lower diastolic blood pressures (71 ± 11.0 mmHg vs 76 ± 11.2 mmHg, p < 0.0001, and less likely to have diabetes mellitus (18.0% vs 27.6%, p = 0.013) and smoking (3.8% vs 34.5%, p < 0.001). Body mass indices were similar (24 ± 3.8 kg/m

conclusionImpairments in diastolic functions were more frequent among older women compared to men, despite lower prevalence of vascular risk factors and preserved cardiac structure. Cardiac aging in women correlated with metabolites involved in fatty acid oxidation and tricyclic acid cycle fuelling.
