Body fat percentage cutoffs for risk of cardiometabolic abnormalities in the Chinese adult population: a nationwide study.
Article in European journal of clinical nutrition, 2018. 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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesThe direct assessment of body fat (BF) by using simple methods might be an alternative index of obesity. We aim to investigate the optimal cutoffs of the %BF relating to metabolic disorders and cardiovascular risks in China. SUBJECTS/
methodsThe data were from the 2007-2008 China National Diabetes and Metabolic Disorders Study. Participants with age of 20-75 years and with a BF measurement record were included. The %BF was measured using a foot-to-foot bioelectrical impedance analysis. Receiver operating characteristic curve was used to decide the optimal %BF cutoffs for predicting the risk of diabetes, hypertension, metabolic syndrome (MetS), and 10-year cardiovascular events (estimated by Framingham risk score (FRS)).
resultsA total of 23,769 participants were enrolled with the mean age of 44.88 years, the male percentage of 40.59%, and the mean %BF of 25.22%. The mean %BFs of subjects who had diabetes, hypertension, metabolic syndrome, and FRS ≥ 10% were higher than those without diabetes, hypertension, metabolic syndrome, and FRS ≥ 10%, respectively. In men, the optimal %BF cutoffs for these four endpoints were 24.50%, 24.90%, 24.21%, and 22.10%, respectively. In women, they were 35.69%, 32.50%, 32.60%, and 32.31%, respectively. On the basis of the weights of these endpoints, the pooled optimal %BF cutoff was 23.67% and 32.88% in men and women, respectively.
conclusionsWe suggest the optimal foot-to-foot BIA-measured %BF cutoffs for predicting risk of cardiometabolic abnormalities to be 24% and 33% in Chinese men and women, respectively.
