Longitudinal association of urbanization and risk of myocardial infarction in China: an analysis from the China Health and Nutrition Survey.
Article in BMC public health, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThe association between urbanization and myocardial infarction in China was not fully understood. We aim to evaluate the association between urbanization level and the risk of myocardial infarction.
methodsParticipants' data from China Health and Nutrition Survey were analyzed. The survey is an ongoing open cohort with a multistage, random cluster process to draw a sample of over 30,000 individuals in 15 provinces and municipal cities. A multi-component score, urbanization index, was used to measure urbanization level. Urbanization index was categorized by cut-off values of 40, 60, and 80. Baseline characteristics were presented as percentage for categorical variables, and mean or median for continuous variables depending on normality. The association of urbanization index and myocardial infarction risk was evaluated longitudinally by a multilevel mixed-effects parametric survival model with urbanization index as a time-dependent variable using Stata software.
resultsA total of 16,565 participants without previous myocardial infarction were involved in the cohort. At baseline, urbanization index was positively correlated with myocardial infarction risk factors, including blood pressure, body mass index, diabetes, and stroke. In the univariate model, urbanization index was associated with risk of myocardial infarction in a "U-shape" manner, with the lowest myocardial infarction risk in urbanization index ranging from 40 to 60 (Hazard Ratio 0.55 and p = 0.013). However, in the multivariate model adjusting for myocardial infarction risk factors and other confounders, urbanization index ≥ 40 was consistently associated with lower MI risks (Hazard Ratio 0.46 and p = 0.002 for urbanization index 40-60; Hazard Ratio 0.56 and p = 0.021 for urbanization index 60-80; and Hazard Ratio 0.44 and p = 0.002 for urbanization index ≥ 80).
conclusionsOur study indicated that urbanization of living communities was associated with a reduced risk of myocardial infarction.
