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: Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are a major health challenge in China. This study examined comorbidity prevalence among outpatients in Yunnan and its association with health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Methods: Using stratified cluster sampling, 5,978 outpatients (2019-2022) were recruited. Data on comorbidities, HRQoL (EQ-5D-5L), and sociodemographics were analyzed via structural equation modeling. Results: Mean age was 38.1 years; 56.8% female. Nearly half (49.1%) had ≥1 NCD. Mean HRQoL score was 0.89 ± 0.20. HRQoL was positively associated with socioeconomic status ( Conclusion: Socioeconomic status, household fuel exposure, addictive behaviors, and demographics are significantly linked to NCDs and HRQoL. Interventions targeting modifiable factors are needed.
