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

backgroundThis study investigated dyslipidemia and its relative factors among Chinese healthcare workers from 2019 to 2022.

methodThis retrospective cohort study was conducted from 2019 to 2022. The endpoints were dyslipidemia or the end of follow-up. Univariate Cox proportional hazard regression and LASSO regression models were used to select variables, and a multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression model was constructed to explore factors associated with dyslipidemia.

results67 (9.2%) medical staff members were diagnosed with dyslipidemia, 106 (14.5%) resigned from the hospital, and 558 (76.3%) kept normal lipid files. Compared with healthcare workers with previous working time <10 years, the hazard ratios (HRs) of those with 10-20 years and ≥ 20 years of working experience were 0.34 (0.18-0.64) (P = 0.001) and 0.47 (0.26-0.85) (P = 0.01); compared with 0-day frontline working time, the HR of those with ≥ 30 days frontline working time was 0.38 (0.19-0.75) (P = 0.005). The HRs of TG, HDL, LDL, TBIL and HB were 3.14 (1.65-6.01) (P < 0.001), 0.20 (0.06-0.65) (P = 0.008), 2.93 (1.70-5.05) (P < 0.001), 1.06 (1.02-1.10) (P = 0.002) and 0.98 (0.97-0.99) (P = 0.04), respectively.

conclusionHealthcare workers with high frontline working time and longer previous working time were less likely to have dyslipidemia, while healthcare workers with high levels of TG, LDL, HB, TBIL, and low levels of HDL were more likely to have dyslipidemia. Supporting healthcare workers should be a priority for policymakers and hospital administrators.
