Comparison of body mass index, waist circumference, conicity index, and waist-to-height ratio for predicting incidence of hypertension: the rural Chinese cohort study.
Article in Journal of human hypertension, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 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
This study compared the ability of body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), conicity index, and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) to predict incident hypertension and to identify the cutoffs of obesity indices for predicting hypertension in rural Chinese adults. This prospective cohort study recruited 9905 participants aged 18-70 years during a median follow-up of 6 years in rural China. Logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analyses were used to assess the association, predictive ability, and optimal cutoffs (in terms of hypertension risk factors) of the four obesity indices: BMI, WC, conicity index, and WHtR. The 6-year cumulative incidence of hypertension was 19.89% for men and 18.68% for women, with a significant upward trend of increased incident hypertension with increasing BMI, WC, conicity index, and WHtR (P for trend < 0.001) for both men and women. BMI and WHtR had the largest area under the ROC curve for identifying hypertension for both genders. The optimal cutoff values for BMI, WC, conicity index, and WHtR for predicting hypertension were 22.65 kg/m
