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

backgroundAlthough Hispanic/Latino youth experience a high burden of cardiometabolic risk factors, few studies address regional differences.

objectiveWe assessed differences between urban areas in metabolic syndrome and cardiometabolic markers among US Hispanic/Latino youth and examined underlying factors explaining these differences.

methodsCross-sectional study of youth (n = 1466, aged 8-16 years) in four US urban areas (Chicago, Bronx, Miami and San Diego) of the Hispanic Community Children's Health Study/Study of Latinos. Metabolic syndrome was ascertained following the International Diabetes Federation criteria. Socio-demographics, perceived environmental characteristics and diet quality were collected through questionnaires. Physical activity was measured using accelerometry. Survey regression models assessed the association between urban areas and metabolic syndrome.

resultsThere were differences across urban areas in socio-demographic, behavioural and perceived environmental characteristics. Relative to youth in the four urban areas, youth in Chicago (odds ratios [OR]: 2.39, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.29, 4.42), but not Bronx and San Diego, had higher odds of metabolic syndrome, while youth in Miami had lower odds of this syndrome (OR: 0.32, 95% CI: 0.12, 0.85).

conclusionWe found differences across US urban areas in metabolic syndrome in Hispanic/Latino youth. Although behavioural and environmental characteristics partially explained these differences, future research is needed to understand persistent differences.
