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

backgroundDecreased levels of high-molecular-weight (HMW) adiponectin are associated with metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance. This relationship may be further confounded by alcohol consumption, which plays a role in the development of liver dysfunction. In Japan, few studies have investigated the relationship between HMW adiponectin levels and alcohol consumption with mortality.

methodsThe study included 845 male participants (mean age, 61 ± 13 years; range, 20-89 years) and 1065 female participants (mean age, 63 ± 11 years; range, 22-88 years). Of the participants, 809 (42.4%) were classified as nondrinkers, 561 (29.4%) as occasional drinkers, 346 (18.1%) as daily light drinkers, and 194 (10.2%) as daily heavy drinkers. A Cox proportional hazards model was used to calculate hazard ratios (HR) for all-cause mortality, adjusting for various confounders, including HMW adiponectin levels.

resultsIndividuals who abstained from alcohol consumption (hazard ratio [HR], 1.23; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.00-1.52) or engaged in daily heavy drinking (HR, 1.39; 95% CI, 1.04-1.86) exhibited significantly higher overall mortality than occasional drinkers. Additionally, those with the 3rd standard deviation (SD) level of HMW adiponectin (HR, 1.39; 95% CI, 1.07-1.80) and 4th SD level (HR, 1.65; 95% CI, 1.23-2.23) had a similarly increased risk of all-cause mortality compared to those with the lowest levels. After adjusting for confounders, the HR for individuals with the 3rd + 4th SD levels of HMW adiponectin was significantly elevated in nondrinkers (HR, 1.89; 95% CI, 1.09-3.29), occasional drinkers (HR, 1.84; 95% CI, 1.05-3.21), and daily heavy drinkers (HR, 1.90; 95% CI, 1.05-3.44), but not in daily light drinkers. The interaction between alcohol consumption and HMW adiponectin levels was significantly associated with all-cause mortality.

conclusionThese findings suggest that alcohol consumption and elevated HMW adiponectin levels are interactively associated with all-cause mortality in community-dwelling individuals.
