Obesity and Risk of Peptic Ulcer Disease: A Large-Scale Health Check-Up Cohort Study.
Article in Nutrients, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
The association between obesity and peptic ulcer disease (PUD) is inconclusive. To evaluate the association of obesity and metabolically healthy obesity (MHO) with PUD risk, we performed a retrospective cohort study of 32,472 subjects without PUD at baseline who underwent repeated health examinations. Participants were stratified by body mass index (BMI) and metabolically healthy state. Hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using Cox proportional hazard modelling. During the follow-up period, 1940 PUD cases occurred. PUD, particularly gastric ulcer (GU), had significantly higher cumulative incidence in obese subjects compared to non-obese subjects (
