Association between trace metal element levels and ideal cardiovascular health in adolescents.
Article in European journal of medical research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
backgroundsAdolescence is a critical stage in the development of cardiovascular disease. The American Heart Association has introduced a state-of-the-art algorithm called "Life Essential 8" (LE8) designed to quantify cardiovascular health (CVH). Research on the association of trace metal elements with cardiovascular disease in adolescents is inconsistent. This study aims to examine the association between trace metal elements and ideal CVH in adolescents.
methodsThis cross-sectional study included 5724 adolescents who participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2005 to 2018. CVH was assessed using Life's Essential 8 (LE8) developed by the American Heart Association (AHA). Exposure factors were trace metal elements (iron, iodine, cadmium, lead, mercury, selenium, and manganese).
resultsMore than half of the adolescents had non-ideal CVH and only 40.8% achieved ideal CVH scores. Of the CVH measures, high blood glucose (96.1%), body mass index (81.3%), blood pressure (77.4%), and physical activity (65.0%) had high proportions of "ideal" values. However, diet, lipids and nicotine intake had lower rates of achieving the ideal CVH criteria (26.9%, 42.6% and 47.6%, respectively). The results of regression logistic showed that iron and mercury were negatively associated with the occurrence of non-ideal CVH (adjusted ORs of 0.997 [95% CI 0.995,0.999] and 0.913 [95% CI 0.840,0.991], and that urinary iodine, blood cadmium, lead, and selenium were positively associated with the occurrence of non-ideal CVH (adjusted ORs of 1.432 [95% CI 1.054,1.945], 3.845 [95% CI 2.278,6.491], and 1.010 [95% CI 1.003,1.017], respectively). No correlation between manganese and CVH was observed.
conclusionsThere is an urgent need to intervene in the CVH of children and adolescents. It is important to emphasize the need to maintain adequate iron intake while reducing iodine, cadmium, lead, and selenium intake.
