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

objectiveTo assess the association between coffee consumption and life expectancy among the US adults.

designProspective cohort.

settingNational representative survey in the United States, 2001-2018.

participantsA total of 43 114 participants aged 20 years or older with complete coffee consumption data were included from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2001-2018.

resultsOver a median follow-up of 8·7 years, 6234 total deaths occurred, encompassing 1929 deaths from CVD and 1411 deaths from cancer. Based on the nationally representative survey, we found that coffee consumption is associated with longer life expectancy. The estimated life expectancy at age 50 was 30·06 years (95 % CI, 29·68, 30·44), 30·82 years (30·12, 31·57), 32·08 years (31·52, 32·70), 31·24 years (30·29, 32·19), and 31·45 years (30·39, 32·60) in participants consuming 0, ≤ 1, 1 to ≤ 2, 2 to ≤ 3, and > 3 cups of coffee per day, respectively. Consequently, compared with non-coffee drinkers, participants who consumed 1 to ≤ 2 cups/day had a gain of 2·02 years (1·17, 2·85) in life expectancy on average, attributable to a 0·61-year (29·72 %) reduction in CVD deaths. Similar benefits were found in both males and females.

conclusionOur findings suggest that moderate coffee consumption (approximately 2 cups per day) could be recommended as a valuable component of a healthy diet and may be an adjustable effective intervention measure to increase life expectancy.
