Optimum cutoff values of anthropometric indices of obesity for predicting hypertension: more than one decades of follow-up in an Iranian population.
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 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
We determined cutoff points of body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), for predicting hypertension in an Iranian population. Study sample included 6359 (3678 female) participants aged ≥20 and <60 years of a prospective cohort. The sex stratified multivariate hazard ratios (HRs) for all indices were estimated using Cox regression in two age groups (20-39 and 40-59 years). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) was used to evaluate the predictive ability and determine the optimal cut-off values of the indices. In both genders and two age groups, the confounders adjusted HRs were significant for general and central obesity measures indices. AUCs of the indices were similar in men; however, among women 40-59 years, WC and WHtR had significantly higher AUC compared to BMI. Generally, the optimal cut-off values were higher in the 40-59 year age group. Optimal BMI, WC and WHR and WHtR cut-off values were 24.15 kg/m
