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

objectiveTo explore the relationships between visceral adiposity index (VAI), hypertriglyceridemic waist phenotype (HW phenotype) and chronic kidney disease (CKD).

methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted in Zhuhai City June-October 2012. A total of 2142 participants were recruited. Logistic regression was used to evaluate the associations between VAI, HW phenotype and CKD.

resultsAfter adjustment for age, VAI was significantly associated with CKD (OR 2.16, 95 % CI 1.25-3.74, P = 0.006) in women. Further adjusted for potential confounders, the association was still significant in women (OR 2.07, 95 % CI 1.17-3.64, P = 0.01). However, the association was abolished when adding diabetes and hypertension to the model (OR 1.68, 95 % CI 0.92-3.06, P = 0.09). The age-adjusted OR (95 % CI, P) of CKD associated with HW phenotype was 2.21 (1.29-3.76, 0.004) and 2.54 (1.53-4.22, <0.001) for men and women, respectively. Further adjusted for potential confounders, the associations were still significant in both subgroups. The OR for CKD was 2.41 (95 % CI 1.42-4.12, P = 0.001) and 2.32 (95 % CI 1.31-4.11, P = 0.004) for women and men, respectively. When further adjusted for diabetes and hypertension, the association of HW phenotype and CKD was significant (OR 1.88, 95 % CI 1.05-3.36, P = 0.033) in women. However, the model is abolished in men (OR 1.50, 95 % CI 0.81-2.78, P = 0.19).

conclusionOur results suggest that both VAI and the HW phenotype might be useful clinical indicators of CKD in China for females but not for males. The HW phenotype associated more strongly with CKD, compared with VAI.
