Which modifiable, non-modifiable, and socioeconomic factors have more effect on cardiovascular risk factors in overweight and obese women?
Article in Journal of research in medical sciences : the official journal of Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundThe aim of the present study was to assess which modifiable, non-modifiable, and socioeconomic factors are good predictors for cardiovascular risk in overweight and obese Iranian women. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis clinical cross-sectional study was conducted on 811 overweight and obese women of age 20-60 years in Islamic Republic of Iran. In this study, the dependent variables were fasting blood sugar (FBS) and lipid profile, and the independent variables were educational level, waist to hip ratio (WHR), body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), age, fasting glycemia, and diabetes.
resultsUnivariate analysis showed that the significant factors associated with FBS were age, BMI, education, and WHR, but the effect of age was more than that of others. For total cholesterol (TC), only glycemia had a significant effect [P = 0.004, odds ratio (OR) 1.9 vs. others independent variables' ORs]. Having diabetes, BMI ≥30 kg/m(2), and education ≤12 years were the significant factors associated with triglyceride (TG), but the effect of diabetes was more than that of others (OR: 2.7, 2.2, and 1.9 for diabetes, BMI, and education, respectively). The effect of age was more than that of other independent factors on low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C). There was not any significant association between independent variables and high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) in multiple logistic regression models.
conclusionBased on the obtained results, in clinic, for overweight and obese women, age, glycemia, and having diabetes can be considered as predictors for FBS, and LDL-C, TC, and TG, respectively.
