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

Background: Research on the relationship between malnutrition exposure in early life and atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) in adulthood is limited and whether this association exists in the Chinese population is unknown. This study was aimed to explore whether early exposure to the Great Chinese Famine is associated with elevated AIP in adulthood using a nationally representative sample. Methods: 2,864 participants were chosen from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study's 2011 national baseline survey, and all of them were categorized into preschool-exposed, infant-exposed, fetal-exposed, and non-exposed groups by birthdate. AIP was calculated by lg(TG/HDL-C). Logistic regression models were used to investigate the association between malnutrition exposure in early life and elevated AIP in adulthood. The influence of age difference was further reduced by using an age-balanced control group. Results: In comparison to the non-exposed group, the risk of elevated AIP in adulthood was higher in the fetal-exposed group (OR = 1.386, 95% CI: 1.073-1.791, Conclusion: Fetal exposure to malnutrition might be associated with higher risk of elevated AIP in adulthood, especially in the female population and people who lived in the rural areas, indicating that they might have higher risk of cardiovascular diseases. Special attention and targeted intervention are needed for those who have experienced malnutrition in the fetal period, and AIP is expected to be an indicator for monitoring metabolism-related diseases for them.
