Body Composition and Mortality in Mexican American Adults: Results from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.

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
objectiveEpidemiologic analyses indicate a lack of association between BMI (kg/m
methodsUsing data from US-residing Mexican Americans in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) III (n = 4,480) and NHANES 1999-2010 (n = 5,849), the association between seven measures of body composition measured via anthropometry and bio-electrical impedance analysis (i.e., waist circumference, waist-to-height ratios [WHtR], skinfolds, lean mass, fat mass, percent body fat, and BMI) and all-cause and cardiovascular and diabetes mortality were examined. Additional analyses were stratified by gender.
resultsWaist circumference (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.04, 95% CI: 1.01-1.07) and WHtR (HR: 1.08, 95% CI: 1.03-1.14) were weakly associated with an increased all-cause mortality, while WHtR was associated with an increased risk of diabetes-related death (HR: 1.26, 95% CI: 1.07-1.49). In gender-stratified analyses, there was an increased risk of mortality in females who had increases in WHtR and waist circumference for all-cause mortality and cardiovascular deaths.
conclusionsWaist circumference and WHtR were associated with increased risk of all-cause and diabetes-related mortality in US-residing Mexican American adults.
