Gastric Anatomic Type Is Associated with Obesity and Gender.
Article in Obesity facts, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
objectiveTo enhance our understanding of the associations among gastric anatomy, obesity, and gender.
methods777 randomly selected participants received health checkups, including a series of radiographs of the upper gastrointestinal tract (UGI); the findings were linked with each corresponding subject's gender and BMI. We measured the length, angle, and different portions of the stomach with the subjects in the standing position using radiographs to classify all individuals into anatomic types 1 through 6 based on gastric morphology. The gastric morphology was identified based on the initial UGI examination: 166 follow-up UGI radiographs at 12 ± 1.5 months to evaluate whether the stability of gastric anatomy persisted over time.
resultsThere was a significant difference in anatomic types between females and males (p < 0.001). The proportions of men with certain types (e.g., barium initially pools in a retroflexed fundus) were significantly higher than those of women; these participants were more likely to be overweight/obese (p < 0.001) compared with participants with other anatomic types. Additionally, the proportion of women with gastroptosis was significantly higher than that of men; participants with this type were less likely to be overweight/obese (p < 0.001).
conclusionGastric anatomic types were associated with obesity and gender.
