Metabolic Obesity Phenotypes and Risk of Cellulitis: A Cohort Study.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
No cohort studies have evaluated the effect of obesity on the risk of cellulitis according to metabolic health status. We investigated an association of BMI and metabolic health status with the development of cellulitis. We conducted a cohort study of 171,322 Korean adults who underwent a health checkup examination and were followed from 2011 to 2016 for cellulitis and hospital admission related to cellulitis, which were ascertained through the linkage to the Health Insurance and Review Agency database. Being metabolically healthy was defined as not having any metabolic syndrome component and having a homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance <2.5. During 638,240.4 person-years of follow-up, 14,672 cases of incident cellulitis were identified with 225 cases of cellulitis-related admission. After adjustment for possible confounders, the multivariable-adjusted hazard ratios (95% CI) for incident cellulitis comparing BMIs 23-24.9, 25-29.9, and ≥30 with a BMI of 18.5-22.9 kg/m
