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

backgroundThe Cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndrome is a health disorder caused by interactions between cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, and metabolism-related risk factors. The stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR) has been shown to correlate with the prognosis of participants with diabetes mellitus, heart failure, and myocardial infarction. However, the predictive value of SHR in the CKM syndrome population is unclear and requires further exploration.

methodsThis study analyzed 19,345 participants from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (1999-2018). CKM syndrome was staged according to the American Heart Association (AHA) guidelines. SHR was calculated using fasting blood glucose (FBG) and glycated hemoglobin type A1c (HbA1c). Participants were grouped into four quartiles based on SHR. The primary and secondary outcomes were all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality, respectively. Kaplan-Meier survival curves and Cox proportional hazard regression models were used to evaluate the association between SHR and outcomes. Then, the potential nonlinear relationship was explored using restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis. We also performed subgroup analyses to assess the effects of different variables.

resultsA total of 2,736 all-cause deaths and 699 cardiovascular deaths were recorded during a median follow-up period of 115 months. Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed that participants in quartile 2 had the lowest risk for both all-cause and cardiovascular mortality (Log Rank P < 0.05). Multivariate Cox regression demonstrated the lowest all-cause mortality in the 2nd quartile (HR = 0.84, 95% CI = 0.73-0.97, P = 0.015) and the highest all-cause mortality in the 4th quartile (HR = 1.19, 95% CI = 1.03-1.37, P = 0.018), compared with the 1st quartile group of SHR. The RCS curve demonstrated a U-shape association of SHR with both all-cause and cardiovascular mortality, with the lowest points of 0.89 and 0.91, respectively.

conclusionsSHR is strongly correlated with prognosis in the CKM syndrome population, with high or low SHR increasing the risk of death. This index shows great potential for predicting the risk of death in this population.
