Comparison of adiposity measures in the identification of children with elevated blood pressure in Guangzhou, China.

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
To differentiate the screening potential of waist circumference (WC), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) and body mass index (BMI) for the presence of elevated blood pressure (BP) in Chinese children. A total of 2799 boys and 2672 girls aged 6-10 years participated in this cross-sectional study. Weight, height, WC and hip circumference were measured, and WHR, WHtR and BMI were calculated. Elevated BP was defined as systolic BP and/or diastolic BP ⩾ 95 th percentile for age and gender. Both linear and logistic regression showed that WC had the strongest associations with BP values or risk of elevated BP, and the association was more substantial in boys than in girls. The area under receiver operating curves for the presence of elevated BP were highest for WC (0.770, 95% confidence interval: 0.754-0.785) in boys. In girls, WC, BMI and WHtR showed similar discriminatory capacity for elevated BP and were slightly higher than that of WHR. The optimal cutoff values of WC were 71.1 th percentile for boys and 83.5th percentile for girls. WC was a simple and sensitive measure in the identification of elevated BP regardless of sex in children in Guangzhou, China.
