Height correlates with dyslipidemia in non-overweight middle-aged Japanese men.
Article in Journal of physiological anthropology, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
backgroundOur previous study showed that height is inversely associated with the risk of stroke in middle-aged Japanese men, particularly in those with a low body mass index (BMI). Since height is regarded as a surrogate maker of childhood social and physical condition, while BMI may reflect primarily on the current physical condition, a detailed analysis of those with a lower BMI may elucidate the effects of childhood conditions. On the other hand, dyslipidemia is recognized as a prominent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. However, no studies have reported on the association between height and dyslipidemia accounting for BMI status.
methodsWe conducted a hospital-based general population cross-sectional study of 3016 Japanese men aged 30-59 years. Dyslipidemia is defined by the Japan Atherosclerosis Society (JAS) Guidelines as follows: triglycerides (TG) ≥ 150 mg/dL and/or low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL) ≥ 140 mg/dL, and/or high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL) < 40 mg/dL, and/or lipid lowering medication use.
resultsIndependent of classical cardiovascular risk factors, height was found to be inversely associated with dyslipidemia in subjects with a BMI <25 kg/m
conclusionHeight is inversely associated with dyslipidemia in those with a BMI < 25 kg/m
