Obesity Markers as Predictors for Colorectal Neoplasia.
Article in Journal of obesity & metabolic syndrome, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundThe goal of this study was to determine the relations between the risk of colorectal neoplasia and obesity markers: body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR).
methodsThe subjects who underwent screening colonoscopies at a Kyungpook National University Hospital in Daegu from July to December 2010 were enrolled. We defined colorectal neoplasia as tubular adenoma, advanced adenoma, or cancer. We performed a logistic regression analysis to investigate the correlations between obesity and colorectal neoplasia and a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis to determine the cut-off obesity marker values for detecting colorectal neoplasia.
resultsAmong the total of 268 subjects, 83 (31.0%) subjects had colorectal neoplasia. Subjects with neoplasia had higher BMI, WC, and WHtR than the subjects without any neoplasia. The adjusted odds ratio (aOR) of WHtR ≥0.5 with the association of neoplasia was 1.927 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.041-3.569) in the total subjects. In women, the obesity markers of WC ≥85 cm (aOR 4.611; 95% CI, 10.166-18.240) and WHtR ≥0.5 (aOR 1.747; 95% CI, 1.149-19.617) were significantly related to neoplasia; however, there was no significant result in men. The ROC analysis showed the optimal cut-off values of BMI as >23.14 kg/m
conclusionObesity is significantly associated with the increased risk of colorectal neoplasia. WC and WHtR have more significant correlations with neoplasia; thus, obese people should undergo regular colonoscopy screenings to detect colorectal neoplasia.
