Predictive value of visceral adiposity index for type 2 diabetes mellitus: A 15-year prospective cohort study.

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 emerging term "visceral adiposity index (VAI)" was reported to be closely correlated with glycemic disturbances and diabetes risk. However, whether VAI could predict future type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) is unknown. Here, we aimed to assess the predictive value of VAI for DM in a Chinese population via a prospective cohort study. PATIENTS AND
methodsThis prospective cohort study was conducted based on a 15-year follow-up in a general Chinese population from an urban community. In all, 711 subjects underwent a health examination in 1992, and in 2007 the same examination was repeated. Twenty-four subjects were excluded from the analysis because DM was diagnosed at baseline. Waist circumference (WC), body mass index (BMI), VAI, and cardiovascular risk factors were collected at baseline. Hazard ratios (HRs) for DM incidence were estimated applying Cox proportional hazards models. Paired homogeneity tests were used to explore whether there was a statistical difference between the HRs of VAI and the other two indicators.
resultsIn all, 74 individuals developed DM during a follow-up of 15 years. The risk of future DM increased with increasing levels of VAI. After adjusting for confounders, for each SD increment in natural logarithm-transformed VAI, BMI, and WC the HRs were 1.538 (95 % CI: 1.225-1.930), 1.639 (95 % CI: 1.289-2.084) and 1.858 (95 % CI: 1.458-2.369), respectively. However, paired homogeneity tests showed no statistical difference among the HRs.
conclusionVAI could independently predict DM in the Chinese study population, although the predictive power was not higher than that of simple anthropometric measures (BMI and WC). Our study does not support the clinical application of VAI; however, more studies based on different ethnic groups still need to be performed.
