Wrist circumference as a novel negative risk factor for cardiovascular disease among adult men: a median follow-up of 9 years.
Article in Journal of endocrinological investigation, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
purposeWrist circumference is an easy to measure anthropometric index of body frame and bone size. The aim of this study was to examine the association of wrist circumference with incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) among adult men.
methodsFor this study 2531 male participants aged ≥30 years, without any history of CVD were selected and followed from 1999 to 2011. Cox proportional hazard models and logistic regression were used to examine the relation of wrist circumference with incident CVD.
resultsA total of 339 cases of CVD were reported throughout a median follow-up of 9.4 years. In the multi-variable Cox model, 1 unit increase of wrist circumference was inversely associated with incident CVD with a HR (95 % CI) of 0.84 (0.72-0.98, P value = 0.02). The receiver operating characteristics curve in a logistic regression model for wrist circumference in prediction of CVD showed a cutoff of 17.75 cm, beyond which was associated with a lower risk for CVD.
conclusionIn a population with a high prevalence of CVD risk factors, it was shown that a higher wrist circumference was associated with lower risk for incident CVD. Further studies are needed to explore the underlying mechanisms of this inverse relation.
