Insulin Resistance and Estimated 10-Year Risk of a First Hard Cardiovascular Event.
Article in Current medical science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
objectiveThis study aimed to investigate the association between insulin resistance and the risk of cardiovascular disease.
methodsA cross-sectional study including 2128 participants aged 40-79 years was conducted using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 1999 to 2018. The quantitative insulin sensitivity check index (QUICKI) and homeostasis model assessment of β-cell function (HOMA-β) were used as independent variables. The 10-year risk of a first hard atherosclerotic cardiovascular event was used as the dependent variable, with other potential confounding factors considered. Multivariate linear regression models and smooth curve fitting were used to assess the associations between insulin resistance and 10-year risk.
resultsA total of 2128 patients, comprising 1191 men and 937 women, were included in our analysis. The regression analyses revealed a negative correlation between the QUICKI score and the 10-year risk of a first hard atherosclerotic cardiovascular event [β = - 8.85, CI (- 15.77, - 1.93)] after adjusting for age, race, body mass index, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, hypertension treatment, smoking, diabetes, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Conversely, an increase in HOMA-β was associated with 10-year risk [β = 6.84, CI (0.45, 13.23)]. Gender-specific subgroup analysis indicated that the QUICKI had a β value of 0.077 (0.046, 0.108) for men and 0.080 (0.061, 0.094) for women.
conclusionThis study demonstrated that increased insulin resistance is linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease.
